Off metal coin i found at the local antique store. Weights 3.00 grams. Non magnetic. Appears to be an improper alloy mixture consisting of mostly tin or zinc and very little copper. Comments?

Off metal coin i found at the local antique store. I paid 3$ for it just because it appears as a genuine error in my opinion. ItsvNon magnetic. Weighs 3.00 grams. Appears to be an improper alloy mixture consisting of mostly tin or zinc and very little copper. Is this something that would be recognized as an error? Is it worth getting authenticated/graded? How collectible/rare if it is authentic off metal error? Did i overpay? Any other thoughts or comments?

I found this coin at the local antique store. At first i thought it looked odd for a 1943 steel wheat penny. Then i noticed the date was 1955. It does not stick to a magnet. I weighed the coin and it only weighs 3.00 grams. In my opinion it appears to be made of mostly tin and zinc with very little copper. I paid $3 for it just because of the slight possibility that it would be very rare. Any thoughts?
