I have this cent that might be steel or maybe it's just coated. The magnet does pick it up but there's no way a planchet from 1943 got stuck in the system for 14 years. Possible reasons why this cent exist?

    It is most likely plated and not a steel cent. Also, without a photo there is no real way anyone can specifically answer your question. I know you are new and welcome aboard but try to post a picture. You will get a better answer this way.

    Weigh it to two decimal points, that will tell you if it is copper or steel.
