It is worth only face value due to severe corrosion of the steel coin and zinc plating.

It's worth one cent.

Happily, its story is worth more than that. Where did you find it? They're quite uncommon these days.

It's a badly corroded steel cent with no numismatic value - worth 1 cent.

How did you acquire it?

Looks like one of many that I released into the wild. Agreed, damaged coin worth face value.

1943's are not that special, they were widely hoarded and even mint state examples sell for just a few bucks.
