I know this is not possible. I got this coin from SA in a recent KSA. It looks silver or steel, any ideas?

I can make any cent look like a zinc plated coin with a little zinc powder, lye and heat. Did it in high school chemistry and continue to find similarly treated coins today.

it is possible to find a cent struck on a dime planchet. But, on yours the detail looks too good. The details are usually a little weak on those.
