I found an old hoard of wheat pennies a while back. There was a 1952 steel type penny included in the mix. I do cleanouts on abandoned and foreclosed homes.. IT was an older couples home I found it in. The penny looks legit. Its sticks to a magnet somewhat too.

Any info?

thanks..

Welcome! If you have pictures of the coin,
that would help greatly to help determine what you have.

I moved this over to the U.S. variety/error forum :)

If it sticks "somewhat" to a magnet, it is likely plated.

Key word is "somewhat" A nickel plating will cause any coin to "somewhat" stick to a magnet. The heavier the plating the better it will stick.
