Congrats! It maybe a steel cent. If you can post pics of it someone may be able to verify what you found.

What...?? Any way you can get a picture up ? Sounds like maybe a magicians coins ? Steel Cents were made only in 1943...

Keep @ it and HH !!

Not a fake, plated. I have one from 1958. Somewhere
It is weakly magnetic and noticeably heavier
Here is one I found on the net...

Plated makes more sense - not sure what you mean by " set in like a nickel but a lot more depth " pic is the only way forward here .

Looks like someone made a necklace out of it.

Don't know about the magnet, but it is spooned (A kind of post mint damage).

I agree, probably was on a chain and broke off. The ring around the penny is probably the only part attracted to the magnet.

Yeah, looks like a necklace bezel... Does the magnet stick to the bezel or to the coin ?

Keep @ it and HH !!
