In 1943, due to the copper shortage during WWII, wheat cents were made out of zinc-coated steel. These were produced in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco. For the most part, they don't have a lot of numismatic value unless they are BU. On many of these cents, the zinc coating was questionable, so these cents tend to corrode, rust, and discolor very easily.

Interesting that I just found one in circulation.

Likely will never happen again.
