First of all, to the forum.

2nd, it would really help if you can post some pictures. Generally these guys like to see a photograph showing the entire obverse (the "heads" side), the entire reverse (the tails side), and then a closeup of any details if necessary.

Generally when people report a steel colored cent that is not from 1943 it has been artificially plated, but photos will help determine that. Glad you are here!

But other year coins are plated, covered in nail polish and painted. If there is rub on the edge of the coin, you might see where the copper is underneath what ever was added to the coin. If the devices are falling over the edge of the coin, then it may have been struck on a dime planchet. The weight would be reduced though. But images will help us from speculating what you have.
