Plated 43. Fake. 50K if it were real.
I would love to see some better images of the coin. It has a polished look but I like the doubling.
If it's fun, go for it. That's why most of us are here. You may never know what caused some things but it's fun to guess.

This is called die rotation. It would need to be 90 degrees or more to matter. Keep on looking.

There is no plating on this year of cent. The coin took a hit from something, another coin, a drone, who knows. The mint mark is smashed.
Fakes could be made with the same marks.

Not really.
Somewhere between AU and 63. The images need to be in better focus.
High relief.
It's cool to play off of any date that is shown on the coin. The Commemoratives make it fun. They may show several dates.
It looks like a normal S with a bit of wear.
I believe this is called machine doubling.
Back on track. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I'm sure you were a great instructor. Thanks for the links and images. Not many folks understand all the steps involved in making a working die....
