 to CCF. A copper cent should weigh 3.1 grams +/- .13 grams. Being that heavy, 3.30 grams makes me think it is heavily plated. Why it doesn't stick to a strong magnet is puzzling me. Wait for the pros to chime in. John1  |

Nope. I don't think so.
A few weird issues with that coin.
Definitely not a U.S. mint product IMHO.
Given past discussions on this forum, might as well not put them out in the open though.

I have a Chinese 1943 Copper counterfeit one cent coin. It is non magnetic, HOWEVER it does weigh spot on at 3.11g. Please post a close up, if it is counterfeit, the details should appear rather grainy/sandy looking as the coins are cast not struck. Dan  |

After enlarging your photo, it appears to have many of the same markers my coin has. Yet it does have some very authentic appearing areas.
Because of the weight I have to say Counterfeit.
Where did you find it. OIf in circulation, where has it been for 76 years ?

Genuine 1943 copper cents are EXTREMELY rare.
How did you get this one?

There's a weakness in the strike that concerns me like it maybe fake. The color looks off as well. That is my concern. The strike should be stronger.
