Depending on the year they were minted many wheat cents have a small amount of tin in them, but no 1-cent coins have ever been struck in tin as the primary metal.
If you have a cent dated 1943 that's silver or gray in color, it's made of zinc-coated steel. Copper wasn't used in pennies that year because it was needed by the military to make ammunition.
If you have a silver-colored wheat cent with any other date on it, it's been altered by plating or chemicals and isn't worth more than 1 cent.
