1945 Wheat Penny - Silver???

[Mistrzero]

About a year ago i stumbled upon this in a parking lot. I forgot I had it until recently. I'm not even sure if this is a real penny, and from the looks of it, it was drilled into to put on a necklace of some sorts. I know this likely isn't silver but the coloring is odd. Any information or theories would be appreciated!

It's plated (Zn would be my guess) and drilled, thus a badly damaged coin. It's worth a penny or its metal value, whichever is greater.

I figured it wasn't worth much of anything, it was just neat how it was different colored. Thanks for the advice

People used to rub them with Mercury to "plate" them. Might not want to put it in your mouth.
