The missing number is most likely because of a grease-filled die.
It's not rare -- but it's not the way the mint wanted it to be!
It is also possible that the number was filed off. People do weird stuff to coins. I don't see file marks in the photo so you should check for that under a nice bright light.
With Rackster. See if it will stick to a magnet. If it does, it's a 1943.
