Possibly yes, but most probably not. My guess is that it does NOT stick to a magnet meaning it's not steel. Remember, since mid-1982 all cents have been made from zinc blanks plated with copper.

There are some occasional error coins that resulted when a zinc blank didn't go through the plating process. These can be worth up to $50 IF they can be shown to be a genuine minting mistake. Unfortunately it's easy to fake this error by using acid to remove the copper plating. If your coin shows any traces of copper in the recesses of letters or numbers it's probably been acid-dipped. If not, you'd need to have it inspected by someone who specializes in error coins.
