Hi I am a coin collector for about 10 years now and I have come across a 1989 Denver minted penny that has no copper applied. I have scratched the side to see if anyone had plated it with anything but nothing! It is in really good condition and can not find any information on it. It doesn't appear to have been tampered with. Can anyone help out with any information on it please and thank you!

Hard to tell with those pictures but if it was a unplated zinc coin, the colour would be more of a battleship grey with no lustre. It may just be the lighting of your photo so here is a photo of a genuine unplated Lincoln you can compare to yours. Also note how smooth the fields are.
