Many people plate them as fakes and just as a science experiment.

Well, the fact that he knows it sticks to a magnet kind of identifies it as a Steelie.  During the 50's, those sort of plating experiments were de rigueur in US Science classes. There are a ton of such coins floating around. |

Welcome to CC! The copper plating of 1943 steel cents is VERY common, I have a couple of them. It is consider PMD since the coins are altered outside of the Mint. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Looks like someone wanted to pass it off as an error coin. PMDQuote:

I'm on board with everyone else here. Because it sticks to a magnet, it's PMD (post mint damage).  |

Yes, I've had several. I had one that was plated, and toned with circulating, making it the EXACT COLOR of a 1943 cent you'd see, or any other normal copper Wheat cent. It wasn't all discolored like the plated ones you see. |
