Maybe someone use a heat gun and melted gold foil on it?
Penny Information for 1969 D penny below.

I assume they are gold-plated. I have a cople gold-plated 1959
memorial cents. No real value, but they are pretty. :)
Maybe the 1969 penny was sold in connection with the moon landing? If
you can find any paperwork or a COA that came with it then it might
have some value over 1 cent, but probably not much.
In someone rummaging through garbage? No.
