Interesting that it sticks to a magnet.

Either it's a 1976-D cent that got steel-plated somehow (outside the mint- this is not any kind of mint error), OR it's some kind of charm made to look like a cent, which was struck or cast in some kind of ferrous metal.

I can't really tell from the picture, which only shows one side.

I suspect steel plating, which was apparently enough to make it magnetic.

Which raises the question why someone would do this. That we may never know.

Value? Minimal, I'd say- perhaps a buck or two as a novelty, at most.

It is interesting as a curiosity, though.
