What did they do???

Hi All,

I have been going through a bag of 5,000 wheats. I came across an interesting penny which at first glance I thought it was a war time peeny (1943). Well I glanced at the date and saw 1957..?? Then I looked at the rim of the coin and that part looked as it should. I will post a pick and hopefully someone will have a funny answer for me, like they painted it or maybe it was struck with zinc?? I do not know....
