What if you have a wheat penny that looks like it is made out of copper but it probably isn't?

All wheat cents except those minted in 1943 were made of bronze which is 95% copper. In 1943 cents were made of steel because copper was needed for ammunition.
Please post a new question with more details about your coin, including the date and whether it has a mint mark.
