The U.S. has never made a gold penny. After all, if you think about it for a few seconds, what sense would it make to mint a coin worth tens or hundreds of dollars and put it into circulation for 1 cent?

Your coin has had one of 3 things happen to it:

1. It was plated for use in jewelry.

2. It was exposed to heat or chemicals that changed its color

3. Its copper coating was put on near the end of the useful life of the particular batch of copper. The copper had become contaminated with zinc from the many uncoated coins that came before, which lightened its color.

Regardless, it's only worth a penny.
