1943 Maybe Copper Penny? Not Stick To Magnet. Weigh 2.02gm Maybe Because Damage. Suggestions?

My car mag is able to attract four 1943 steel pennies. ( In picture) But will not attract the 1943 copper penny. It's a pretty strong magnet. The acetone did not help make coin clearer. I would love to get it graded. It is a collectors choice. Maybe someone will be interested. It's not the worse I've seen.

I was thinking about PCGS or NGC. Get it insured and send. If you feel these two Companies will not be interested in grading this damaged coin. Would you recommend a reputable coin service that does?
Thanks

IMO the same corrosion that obliterated Liberty and other devices and rendered them unreadable did the same to the date.

I think just getting a major TPG to slab it as a 1943 copper "genuine" would be a major (highly unlikely) WIN for you.

You need to soak it for at least 24 hours to get results
when it is that bad.

I goggled this.".Yes, it's possible for a 1943 copper penny to be struck on the wrong planchet and weigh 2.00 grams. This is a known mint error where some 1943 Lincoln cents were mistakenly struck on leftover bronze (copper) planchets from 1942." (This is good to know as well. This gives me hope.) Could this be a wrong planchet on the1943 penny or do you feel it's just deterioration and damage? It is thinner than a normal penny weighing 3.11 g. More like a dime.
I'm working on getting neodymium magnet.
This will erase any of my concerns.
I will resoak penny
If it is truly copper. then what? Would it still be a problem because of the date not being clear enough?

It just doesn't look like a 1943 to me at all, the final digit appears to be a 2 or possibly a 7 but not a 3.

The latest photo gives a little bit better view of the four in the date.

The arch of the four is relatively squat, rather than relatively tall. That limits date options to 1940, 1941, 1946. 1947, 1948, and 1949. Significantly, it eliminates 1943.

The left tip of the four is in the close position to the nine, as opposed to the normal (mid) and far positions. That limits dates to 1942, 1944, 1945, and 1946. This also eliminates 1943.

The crosslets are too damaged to see the details on them, but the right crosslet looks like a short crosslet. That limits dates to 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, 1946, 1947, 1948, and 1949.

The top of the four seems to be level with or more likely slightly below the top of the nine, as opposed to very high or high. That limits dates to 1940, 1945, 1946, or 1949. Again, that eliminates 1943.

The common year is 1946. That year had a "stiletto shoe" four, set very close to the nine, with the top of the four below the top of the nine. Compare your coin to a 1946 cent online, and I think you will see the similarity.

IMHO, you have a 1946 cent that has been through a tough life.

That's the best I can offer here. Thank you for posting this coin!

Before you spend hundreds of dollars on a PCGS/NGC membership, I suggest that you spend ten bucks to buy a clip-on magnifier for your phone. That will allow you to accurately image the date so the folks here can help you. It's a must-have piece of equipment for coin collecting.
