    If you want to investigate whether it has the wrong metallic composition,
    you will need an accurate weight for it.
    The photos do not look unusual to me.

    I have to ask - what does a token feel like? :|

    Your cent was struck from a worn die. In addition it suffered some environmental damage causing the blotchy color. There also appears to be some corrosion/zinc for on the reverse. Just a regular circulated zinc cent.

    I agree with the above evaluations.... a worn, damaged cent. I do not know how the indentation on the reverse (also obvious on the obverse) occurred. Cheers, RickO
