My suspition, and probably the correct answer, although there's no proof...
1. This is definitely a 1948 cent.
2. It's probably someone's first attempt at a fake 1943 bronze cent.

 It looks as if the guy just shoved a knife into the 8 and started prying at the metal.  |

". It's probably someone's first attempt at a fake 1943 bronze cent" My first thought when I saw that sharp cut on the upper 8. It looks like a "twenty serif pileup" to me!  Edited by KurtS

Looks like someone tried to hammer a nail into it. If your going to try to fake something, atleast do it gently. |

First shot at doing anything is usually botched...this same self-taught medallic artist and metallurgist has probably created others, and my bet is that the others are probably a lot better than this one.
