penny/nickel or dime or just steel

i run the register at a convience store and saw this penny its didnt sound like a penny when i dropped it in the register. it looks like a penny with steel or something mixed into it i dont no if its a error or just rare or not at all. Also where the bronze is cut off and its silver you can see some of the letters that were cut off on the silver. Front also has a ring of steel or silver or what ever it is. my pictures are not super clear because my digital camera is old. But i just want to know if its worth anything

If the cent is newer than 1981 then it is just the copper plating has been rubbed off and the zinc core is showing throught

Don't know about the cent, but one thing is clear... you need a new camera!

 

If it is worth anything please sell it and buy a new camera with the money!

 

I think we have a winner!

These photos remind me of photos taken by the Hubble Telescope before NASA repaired it.

 

Absolutely... a galaxy far, far away...
