Reme84 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 How would I know if this penny is steel with a copper plate? I am just just curious. It has a steel looking color in a few spots on front and back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.C Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hold a magnet to it if it sticks a good chance you have a steel 1944 cent that's been copper plated ......not likely but anything is possible I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Highly unlikely it is copper plated steel but you could also weigh to know for sure.. If copper, it should weigh 3.11g, if steel it would weigh 2.70g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
