You would need a pic for us to say for sure. But most likely a novelty plated item.

Google the "Gold and Silver Penny"

 

Stuwie, there are loads of ways to plate bronze coins, especially when they're still lustrous and take the plating really well. Yours is a 1976, and that was the beginning of the mini-lab / one-hour-photo business. One of the easiest ways I plated cents was to hang them in a little basket in the Fixer solution of the negative processing line. They would take up a true silver plating in less than 30 seconds. Gorgeous, they were.

 

so its crap?

 

It's not a mint product.

 

kool ty guys 4 the info

I have one of these too. Super late to the party I know but I’ve searched other forums and they are all 1976 D penny’s. I can’t find any other answer though.

 

It's been plated after it left the mint.
Altered surfaces.

 

A lot of 1976-D cents were plated after leaving the mint. That was our bicentennial birthday.
