At first glance, it looks like a .22 cal bullet fired from a Marlin microgroove barrel, which puts it post-1953.

I took a penny and a 22cal bullet and compared them to your pic and it looks close but not quite a match, your round looks larger in diameter and obviously longer then a 22 long round. Can you give exact measurements of the bullet?

A 22 long cal bullet is close to the size of Lincoln's head so this round is bigger then a modern 22. I think its older then the 1950's.

Your pic is close to scale when holding a penny to the computer screen so I would say its closer to a 30cal round. I compared it to a 30-30 round and it looks like a good match. Thats my guess its its an old winchester round.
