1943 was the only year cents were minted in steel.

If you have a silver-color 1949 cent it's been plated or otherwise altered. That makes it an altered coin worth only face value. But don't shed any tears; even in almost-uncirculated condition an unaltered 1949-S cent is worth less than a quarter.
