Steel cents were only minted in 1943. All US cents since mid-1982 have been made of zinc with a thin coating of copper.
Using that fact you can estimate the density. Because the coin is 97.5% zinc, it'll be almost exactly the same as that of pure zinc which can be found easily on almost any chemistry or Metallurgy reference site - or even WikiAnswers. Please see the Related Question.

What is the density of a 1943 steel penny?
It's likely that, given wartime limitations, the steel used was not of uniform quality throughout all mintages. Depending on the quality used for any particular batch of coins, a 1943 cent's density would be roughly that of standard mild steel, about 7.85 gm/cm3
What is denser a penny or a paperclip?
A penny is denser than a paperclip. Pennies are made of copper and have a higher density compared to paperclips, which are typically made of steel. Density is a measure of mass per unit volume, so the penny is denser due to its material composition.
