Weak 4 or no 4 on a steel cent is very common. My '43 steel wheatie has a weak 4. If it was another date I would call Grease Filled Die, but the fact that most steel cents have that makes me unsure.
Rookie here, This got me looking at mine and grabbed my 1943's that were with in arms reach and out of 6, none show a weak 4 or date. Only to two of them were Philly mint. Thanks, Doug.
