Now that does look different.
Certainly not Die Deterioration. To me it looks like the coin was treated with an acid. Some acids are strong enough to eat the coin away to...
You're very fortunate or you've been cheated.
It's copper and to me, it looks acid dipped. It's not a mint error, that's for sure.
Either a coin stuck and finally freed itself or a Mint employee struck it when working on the equipment.
Not seeing a doubled die from that photo.
I voted for the top choice just to break the tie.
It looks great because it did not circulate. You can speculate as to why. Not a doubled die.
Nowhere near a 1943 copper cent. A copper cent yes but not a '43.
Damage from a coin rolling machine.
You can't just use any acetone, like nail polish. That's horrible on coins. You need an industrial strength acetone.
Looks like a 1919-S. Both would be worth melt or about $1.30 each. Not sure of the latest silver price.
It's unfortunately suffers from circulation wear, environmental issues and it's been cleaned at one point years ago.
It's worn and worth face value. Welcome to CT.
I'm with pickin and grinin and paddyman.
Very nice but not worth a dime.
Extremely nice die crack. Sweet!!!
The coin has had a rough life but the lamination is nice. No to a strike though on the columns.
No!
I totally agree with @furryfrog02. Your paying $2.00 for coin. Melt is about $.60 less for each coin.
Separate names with a comma.
