T-BOP Bedrock of the Community United States 14855 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 08:25 am A steel cent that was probably copper plated at one time . Most of the copper and zinc has worn off and the steel is rusting . Proud Member of The Black Sheep Squadron ! In Memory of Fallen Black Sheep Mates . Report this Post to the Staff

Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 4633 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 08:30 am Two sure ways to tell if a 1943 cent is copper or steel. Weigh it and does it stick to a magnet. You'll always find your answer doing those two things. Report this Post to the Staff
