I realize 1943 was the only year that steel was used. I found this while coin rolling. This coin weighed out at 3.0 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/14/2021 10:55 pm Probably a chemical high school class plating experiment that is now slowly wearing off. You can see the copper under the plating. You are correct, just post mint damage. Fun to find these here and there (they certainly stand out). Report this Post to the Staff

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 2:17 pm Welcome. If it was a 1944, it's conceivable that a 43 planchet got stuck in the hopper and minted in 44 with the 44 die. Incredibly rare. Otherwise no know examples of steel beyond that.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/15/2021 3:13 pm 2.7 was the weight for the steel cent. It is a worn copper cent that the surface was altered. Not a steel cent. Report this Post to the Staff
