Without pictures, only speculation is possible. Likely it was plated with nickel.

That would be impossible to be struct on a steel planchet .Steel Cents was only used in 1943 when they were plated with Zinc .

Magnetic so not zinc plated, almost certainly nickel plated

Magnolia Slim, does the magnet just pick it up or does the coin JUMP to the magnet from a half inch away?
