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.
