Unfortunately I have no way to weigh it at the moment. But I do know it is not magnetic.

Looks like a damaged 1945 to my eyes

Here is the best I can do with the obverse pic that you posted above. We will need a much clearer pic, but in looking at your original post, the fourth digit doesn't drop below the number four. That makes me think that you have a worn and slightly misleading 1945 cent here.

Agree, this is most likely a 1945 cent. Good job, Spence.

Looks like a heavily damaged 1945 Wheat cent.

I think it could be 1948, but the date is really mushed. @Monkey spirit look at a 1943 - the tail of the 3 extends as far as the tail of the 9. The bottom of your last digit is even with the 1.

Such a weird smile on Lincoln's face.

Almost certainly a 1945, but I wouldn't toss it without careful examination under a microscope. Stranger things have happened with rare coins.

Unfortunately, the date is flattened.

I'm waiting for the expert

Well, it can't be a 3 as I said earlier - the long tail is clearly not there. Whether 45 or 48 doesn't really matter.
