If that is actually a 1943 it would be worthless in that condition

 

Looks like a brown hockey puck in the close ups.

 

I wish I had your imagination

 

Not only are Cat curious, they are also creative.

 

I don't even see the date. how is it a 1943?

Its no imagining . With it in my hand you can see 1943 I'm going to a dealer to get it verified tomm.

 

Dealers can not verify coins. Unless they are experts. And not all are.
He can only give you an opinion on the coin which you can get right now.
Why not just post a clear photo here?
You are going to waste trip.

 

I can tell you if it does not stick to a magnet its not a 1943. its in too bad of shape to prove otherwise.

 

Your suggesting the one in 100 billion chance its a copper. I don't think that is even then possible.

 

I copied the image then played around with the lighting. I think this is the best I can get the image. Looks like 1944.

 

A 1944 portabella mushroom?

 

Look just message me your address, ill send a real 1943, Ill pay the postage too.

 

Let us know what he says.

 

Well the point about it not sticking to a magnet, means it's not a steel 1943.
Steel sticks to a magnet because of the iron content, and copper cents don't.
I can't make out the date.
And while the odds are not 1 in 100 billion, they are around 26/ 1 billion.
(Known 1943's, although 2 more just popped up from a former "Philly mint workers" estate, so that is highly suspicious to me that he saved 2 copper 1943's. Which could have only been removed from the mint. Esp if they are in top condition, rather than finding BOTH in circulation in 1943.) 28 in 1 billion. (Number of copper 1943s/ number of cents minted that year.)
