✅ SOLVED Is this a penny?

[Crispin]

Find this at the forge site. Tests positive for copper but links like a zinc penny. It just doesn't feel like a penny and I should be able to see some sign of lincoln or memorial with the amount of copper left. Head scratcher. I know the pictures are not the best but I am working with limited resources at the moment.
