Error coin
Been collecting coins for 60+ years. Found a 1974-D penny minted of some other metal not copper. It seems to be nickel or a nickel alloy. Took it to a reliable coin dealer who said he had never seen one but really wanted to buy it. Do you have any idea what it might be?

Re: Error coin
Do you have an image? Also didn't the dealer weigh the coin or do a specific gravity test?

Re: Error coin
It could be any number of things (damage, error, counterfeit or nothing), but like Daniel said about the images, weight and SG they are a minimum starting point. They help narrow down the possibilities.
