Anything to cherry pick out of circulated steel cents?

Got a box of about 200. Some are AU/BU sliders, most are just circulated. I know they were minted in the trillions, but are there any interesting varieties (besides the '43 copper)? Also, anyone know if a non-plated 1989 cent is a genuine error, or was some chemical process used to strip the copper? Kind of wierd to see a silvery memorial among all of the steel wheat ears 
We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.

<< <i>Go to coppercoins.com.I searched the date 1943 and they have some excellent photos and it came up with 28 different errors. >>
And there are a number of other die varieties (not errors) that I have not yet had time to list. There are at least 50 as a combined total between the three mints, DDOs, DDRs, and RPMs. Don't for a moment believe the published books - they are all way behind the curve.

Just in case someone might know if this baby is a mint error or the trick some kid learned in their science class?
