  It's more than likely plated. Weigh it.

  A 1934 steel cent is 100% fake and electroplated/messed with somehow. A 1944 steel cent is also fake although only 99.9%. Most likely someone just playing with their JR chemistry set.

  Positive dealing with oilstates2003, rkfish, Scrapman1077, Weather11am, Guitarwes, Twosides2acoin, Hendrixkat, Sevensteps, CarlWohlforth, DLBack, zug, wildjag, tetradrachm, tydye, NotSure, AgBlox, Seemyauction, Stopmotion, Zubie, Fivecents, Musky1011, Bstat1020, Gsa1fan several times, and Mkman123 LOTS of times

  If your 1944 steel cent weighs the same as a 1944 bronze cent, there goes the dream... but it certainly is possible that a '44 steelie could surface(no pun intended).

  Thanks guys! I'll give it a check. I figured it was toyed with somehow. The freemasons counterstamp is what is really interesting to me!
