  Welcome to the NGC chat board.

  Your 1949-S (not 1944-S) Lincoln cent has been polished to an unnatural brightness and shine, which reduces its collector value (otherwise ten cents or so) to face value.  As its color is orange, how could you think that it is composed of steel?

THE IMPORTANCE OF FIRST IMPRESSIONS!

[Your post is glaringly riddled with spelling errors and a distractingly glaring lack of punctuation. The copper cent exhibits signs of seafarer's disease--malignant tertiary malaria, the estivo-autumnal variety due to plasmodium falciparum. I don't know the applicable formal numismatic term for the condition but it is irreparably harmed. As the prognosis is self-evident, I won't speculate on its value. (It is a shame Oldhoop' isn't around to chastise me for this post. He remains sorely missed.)]
