well as i always say expect the unexpected it will happen anyways and well i expected to find some sort of odd coin in my change after all i did find a 1944 US wheat penny in change three days ago
here is the info on the steel penny i could find
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1943_steel_cent
your penny most likely nickel-plated and will weakly stick to a magnet
a clear photo would be helpful cause the one you put up is blurry and i can't tell what you are talking about
get a clear close up shot that would be helpful
