The first clue that a penny is made of steel would be that it would stick to a magnet. If not, it can't be made of steel. If it does stick, the coin would have to be authenticated by one of the major grading agencies.

How do you tell if you have a 1943 copper penny?
Answer It will be dated 1943, be red or brown in color, and weigh 3.11 gm as opposed to 2.7 gm for a steel cent. Steel 1943 cents were often copper plated to appear as if they were the rare variety, but these will stick to a magnet while a genuine 1943 copper cent will not. There are also a lot of counterfeits made by altering the date on a normal 1945 or 1948 cent. Careful comparison with the date on a 1943 steel cent will usually expose these fakes.

How do you tell if a penny is made of copper?
Assuming you mean a US cent, in general if its date is 1981 or older, it is predominantly copper. The major exception would be 1943 cents that were made of zinc-plated steel due to wartime shortages. 1982 cents were struck in both zinc and bronze so you need to weigh them - a bronze cent weighs about 3.1 gm while a zinc one weighs 2.5 gm.
