<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USCoinCollector42, post: 3066844, member: 75732&quot;]Let me explain what happened step by step so you can fully understand.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. the mint produces 1944 <i><b><u>copper</u></b></i> cents</p><p>2. One of those completely normal copper cents is plated in a magnetic metal <b><i><u>after it left the mint</u></i> </b></p><p>3. you find the coin and think that it&#039;s the &#039;rare 1944 steel cent&#039;, when really, it&#039;s a completely normal cent that was <u><i><b>plated</b></i></u> in a magnetic metal such as steel</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin you have is a normal copper penny like any other. A person outside the mint decided to dip it in molten steel, thus giving it a thin steel coating. They were probably trying to fool an amateur collector into believing it was struck on a steel planchet. <u><i><b>This is not a mint error</b></i></u>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
