1961 no mint penny

[Jaytorr]

I want to say hello to everyone out there and I will say thank you for letting me join I was family the coin that I am fixing to post was given to me when I was probably 10 11 years old and it has been put up for a long time and recently I was going through some old stuff and I came across it my grandfather gave it to me told me to put it up there one day I could use it and that's what I've done and I forgot about it through the years and when I seen it I was pretty amazed and I was hoping to get any feedback that I could get you to help me out okay about the coin it is a 1961 no mint penny this looks like a proof coin for what research I've done it sticks to a magnet as you will see in the pictures it is not a fake it weighs 3.1 grams and I'm going to try to get authenticator here soon and I hope the pictures are good enough I took them with my phone they could be better but I hope they're good enough y'all to see what's going on thank you we

Welcome to the forums! Your cent appears to have been plated with some other metal. I have no idea why, but this appears to have happened pretty frequently judging by the number that come to light. Great memento to remember your grandfather!

Welcome to Treasurenet !!
I see no need "to get authenticator here".
You already know its greatest value:
The fond memory link to your grandfather.
It's a 'keeper'; priceless.
