Second, perhaps the easiest way to determine if your cent is steel is to see if it is strongly attracted to a magnet. If it isn't (as I suspect), then it more likely has been plated or coated in mercury.

seanqueue Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 03/03/2019 2:02 pm If it was nickel plated it would show slight attraction to a magnet. I am unaware of any magnetic planchets (like the 1943 steel cents) being struck at the US Mint for any foreign countries. Sean Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/03/2019 2:06 pm Probably plated. It is doesn't stick tightly to a magnet, it was plated. If it doesn't sick to a magnet, it could have been plated, covered with mercury, painted or nail polished. Report this Post to the Staff
