    Because some of the lettering on the top of the
    coin is missing, it's an off center strike, not a broad strike.

    If it's a 1943, why does it have a copper look to it? Just curious.

    I cannot tell if a 1940 coin or 1948? If truly a 1943, it is the find of a lifetime.

    It's not a counterfeit? You are saying it's a steelie, with a misaligned die strike on both sides? Lettering looks mushy to me.

    It has been determined that it is a Off Center Error.

    It is a 1943. It is a Steel Cent NOT copper. I found it over 50 years ago in a roll of nickels mixed in with a bunch of Wartime Nickels. Just recently took it out of the tube to photograph it and find out more about its origin an what it might be worth.

    It's an off center 1943 Steel Cent - period.

    About 10% + off center.

    Value? I'd say about $100-$125 retail, or thereabouts.

    Hope this helps.
