I believe the 1944 steel wheat penny is the one you want to look for and the 1943 copper wheat as well.

 

[JVA5th]

Okay thanks I have 13 wheat pennies to look at still this is the only steel one

Someone stole a steel penny from me my grandmother had given me that made me pretty mad but its nice to come across this one

Steel pennies weren't very rare when I was a kid.

 

[JVA5th]

40 cents actually

1943- A few specimens struck on bronze or silver planchets by error are know to exist... from 2014 Red Book

 

[JVA5th]

Whoo a whole 40cents lol its still cool I'll keep it in my coin collection

 

[JVA5th]

Lol I embarrass myself I'm always metal detecting or sifting something coin searching never had much luck yet so thinking I had something without further research letting excitement get the better of me equals embarrassment oh well better to just laugh at myself and move along I'm stubborn I'll hunt till one day I find something good not easily deterred

1943P copper is the rare one, worth about 40 grand

My Pocket size Coin Book was the best investment since the Pin Pointer for Me... I can take it with Me to check out the coin finds ... Your Steel cent is in much better shape than the one I have and its an S ... H H ...

I had a steel cent almost new condition my grandmother gave me when I was younger back then I didn't know anything about it took it to school another jerk kid saw it and took it from me sigh was not pleasant being a scrawny short kid with thick glasses back in my school years but was my fault too for taking it to school than a lesson learned just happy now almost 23 now fitter and wiser about things of value to me my coins of value to me stay home hidden away now lol

Don't laugh at something you own that's worth 40 times face value. 40 cents doesn't seem like much, but think if you had 1,000 similar pennies in your collection.....

nice find.

 

[JVA5th]

Lol trust me I'm happy I've learned to appreciate all finds no matter how small always better than nothing. I feel lucky being someone who doesn't drive and lives way out in the country I'm limited to places I can walk to to hunt very lucky the area I'm in seems at one point to have had some sort of activity on it so I have no reason to complain very thankful for what I have

If you wave a strong magnet over your wheat collection any steel ones will jump out (to the magnet).

Still pretty coo . I have never found a Steel penny in pocket change.
