Why would you care about that when you have a bronze 1943 cent?! Is it real?

this is not a bronze 1943, it is steel, sorry folks, the lighting is bad

Well it looks like normal die wear to me. Those dies wore down quickly because of how hard steel is.

I know you are doing the best you an with the pics and they are tough ones to get but it is difficult to tell from the pictures that are here.

Most of what I see looks like die chips but in this picture there does appear to be an outline of a much larger "D" under the mint mark.  |

Which would impossible as only one size of punch would have been used. If you look at image above there appear to be a $ between the 43 which is smaller than the mint mark. The die looks like it wore more in those areas and the die cracks between the 4 & 3 confirm that. So anything that is larger/smaller than a mint mark just could not happen.

Ok, here is a picture of what I think is on my coin, but this picture is NOT of my coin, but a photo of another coin from PCGS. I just can't get a good enough picture, lighting and all, to show it. I will keep trying, looking at this photo, it looks like the shot was taken from a downward slope and lighting from above, will try that.  Edited by wrongalot

I can see what you are looking at, I still can't commit myself one way or the other with the pictures.
Try to fool around with lighting and see what happens. If you happen to have a full spectrum lamp, shut off the flash on your camera, light the coin with the lamp and use a photoprogram to adjust the brightness if needed.
Try taking a bunch of pics looking straight down at the MM but vary the direction of the light. It may take 10 shots to get one that works. You might try to see what happens.
