let see photos of the whole coin both sides in focus

 

ok 1 sec

 

It's a 1943 D cent.

 

Fake?

 

idk, i hope not. lol just found it today

 

i have the steel one too.

 

The 3 looks wrong.

 

So this isn't steel? Confirms my suspicion: altered date.

 

how can i find out for sure?

 

This is a steel one, anything else (copper) is an exceedingly rare coin. I always enjoy finding these, although they are always in lousy shape.

 

Is it bronze or steel?

 

i know there are a few copper/brass ones in circulation

 

Your coin isn't worth much, wait and see what people here have to say.

 

it is not magnetic... rules out copper coverd steel

 

Definitely altered. The 3 is wrong. Probably was a 1948

 

1943 cents were zinc coated iron (or steel). The bronze are very rare.

 

Yup
