1940 wheat penny 0

[1allstar]

I have a 1940 s wheat penny, looks like the regular wheat,  but a little thinner. Not steel. The magnet does not pick it up. It weight is 2.7 grams,

The only year they made the steel cent was 1943. Came back to edit. I was wrong about the tolerance. I was thinking wrong. I apoligize. Its not very much underweight.

It may be a slightly thinner planchet by looking at the weak strike. The minimum tolerance is 2.99 so it is a bit underweight.

Almost forgot, welcome to the forum.
