Hello!
Can I get a little help identifying this 1944 no mint mark penny please?
Underlying metal looks gray & it DOESN'T STICK to a magnet. Feels & looks rusty.

Just looks like a corroded copper cent to me.

Absolutely! +1,000
It spent a long time buried. It is just an environmentally damaged coin. Value is one cent.
It was environmentally damaged, as others have said. Copper is a reactive metal, and it's not uncommon to find coins with corrosion/damage. Regardless of the specific cause of the damage, your coin didn't leave the mint looking like that and is not an error.
Welcome to the forums @MnT_Collectibles.
Cleaned up metal detector find that is corroded.
@MnT_Collectibles.... Welcome aboard... as said above... damaged cent....likely spent time in the dirt. Cheers, RickO

Shell casing brass exposure to the elements as it was contained within soiled surroundings.
It is a 75 year old cent.
