Looks to be a normal Canadian cent with no real numismatic value.
Wow, what happened to that? Looks like it was scrubbed with sandpaper!
Canada most certainly did NOT mint cents for the US in 1936.
Yep, normal circulation marks.
You can post pictures to be sure but it sounds like zinc corrosion. If it is there is no getting rid of it, it only gets worse.
What kind of coin is it? Can you post a picture?
No it is just damaged. the zinc coated cents can be enlarged by putting between two pieces of wood or leather and pounding with a hammer.
Sorry I missed it before, but welcome to the forum. Normal modern coins usually don't have much value unless very high grade, but post some...
Any that did get out were sold only in proof sets, they were not released into circulation.
OK, finally! No yours is not the valuable one. There were a few proof cents minted in San Francisco accidentally without the S mint mark. There...

That is exactly what coin collecting is about to me, history you can hold in your hand!
Most likely some kind of copper cleaner and buffed, now re-toning. Still nice to find one that old.
Is this it? [MEDIA] If so then you need to pay more attention to the video. It is about cents struck on silver dime planchets not silver steel...
I would definitely like the link. I have been looking but can't find it. I can't imagine what they may be talking about and would appreciate it...
Thanks! That's what my coin used to look like! Although mine has the more common obverse legend. Thanks for the additional info. these coins...
Just got this one, pretty new to ancients and never posted a picture. Hope it works.[ATTACH] [ATTACH]
There is no such thing as a silver steel cent. There could be a 1943 cent struck on a silver dime planchet, but then it would be the size, weight...
You have a normal steel cent that has been plated to look like a 1943 bronze cent.
