Just found a 1941 lincoln wheat cent that I would bet is a steel cent. However, I know that couldn't be the case as they were only minted in 1943. Anyone else ever seen one like this?

Try a magnet on it to see if it sticks, I have found two none plated zinc in the past two months but nothing that old I hope you found the mother load.

No magnetism. Magnet had no effect. Oh well, will just throw in the wheatie bucket and go on.

it's probably just plated with something...how about the weight, is it 3.1 grams?
