Best Answer

All 1911 U.S. cents were made of bronze.

The only steel cents ever issued were dated 1943, and were made of that metal to save copper for the war effort.

If your 1911 cent appears to be steel it's almost certainly plated, not really steel. Try picking it up with a magnet. If it doesn't stick, it's not steel.
