I'm torn between 1942 and 1947, not 1943 though.

The mint never issued a coin with the last digit a 3 that looked anything like that squiggle on your coin.
I am struggling to see a 7, as one did.
To me, clearly a 1942.

Given the pics posted, I'm seeing '42 on a well-circulated/damaged Wheat cent. |

Not sure how you are seeing a three when it's clearly a two. Sorry, no premium.  |

I can see this being a 2 or a 7 as well.
Looks like the last digit took a hit at the base that pushed metal around (creating the base of a "2" or it really is a 2).
Take a minute to look at the images posted. A clear closeup would be nice.

Based on the shape of the 4 and the distance of the last digit from the 4, a 7 seems more likely than a 2, but there's too much damage to tell for sure. I definitely don't see a 3.

I agree, a damaged 1942 cent.

@Nobile03, why don't you post a picture up close and clear like you did with your 1942? if you had done that from the beginning you would have prevented a lot of these guess works !!

I wish it was. That way we could all say we know someone who has found one.
