I also got mixed up about its magnetism. It is NOT magnetic. There were a bunch of other steel pennies mixed in with the collection. I tried sticking it to a magnet again before taking the picture of the back of the coin and it didn't stick. That could also point to an aluminum composition. I don't think aluminum is magnetic.

Aluminum isn't magnetic. The aluminum one weights around half a normal one. I think it is 1.7 grams but would have to look it up to make sure. Really interesting coin. Something like that would be worth your time to take it/send it to PCGS or the grader of your choice. Buying a cheap digital grams scale should be first though. Like cards there are also a ton of fake coins out there and always has been. Most get the weight wrong.
