Maybe a "good luck" pocket piece rubbing against other pocket change for years?

 

I don't find it terribly surprising that a 42 exhibits that much wear. It circulated for at least 22 years before silver was removed. It's not uncommon to see coins of that age show decent wear.

 

I find it amazing how many threads you've opened.....

 

I thought that, perhaps, you may find this enlightening....

Sheldon would say..."sarcasm?"

 

Trust me, you ain't "in" with anybody here, and I don't appreciate the sarcasm edited

 

Maybe it was a survivor of the battle of Midway. It looks like it.

 

Just normal wear but I can't see if it's the 2 over 1 from the photo.

 

Your evaluation is much appreciated. Better photos in the works with Google microscope . Two 1943 wheat cents steel to be featured.
Thanks
