Strange 1928-s Wheat Penny Help??

I came across an odd 1928-s wheat penny that does not appear to be 95% copper is anyone aware of the existence of any such coin? It appears to be similar to a steel penny but the metal is a bit darker looking in color like iron or something and I do not want to attempt to clean it up. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Picture?

 

Let's see it

 

Does it say Penny or CENT on the back?

Let me think... 2018 - 1928 = 90 years... hmmm
Environmental Damage!

 

Can't help with out photos.

 

The 1928-S cent is reasonably rare at 17,266,000 mintage. It is worth about a buck in G-4 condition. I've not heard of a steel 1928-S cent, but it would certainly be valuable if it is real. Have you weighed the coin? It should weigh about 3.1 grams if it 95% copper. It could be a little less weight if in poor condition.

 

My guess is that it is crusty. Calling it now.

 

I wouldn't call 17.25 million mintage any where near rare....
