Good evening everyone,
I found this 1909 VDB penny a while back and I have not been able to get any real answers about it.. It is the same Silver Steel color just like the war-time pennies. I have uploaded a picture of the one that looks like its steel (the coin in question) along with a regular one just to show the difference. Has anyone seen anything like this? I find it hard to believe someone would go and dip the coin in something. Possible mint error? Any help or theories would be greatly appreciated!

Check with a magnet.

Initial thoughts.
Polished/cleaned and initials look strange.
