I know its not in good shape and I know what the odds are of it actually being what it looks like to me so I would like a different set of eyes to tell me what you see.

 that is a spender. Does it stick to a magnet? because it looks like a rusted 1943-D Steel Cent.

 Just a spender, I'm afraid.

I see a very rusted environmentally dug up coin of most likely steel based content with the zinc coating long since worn off, a semblance of a D mintmark and the shape of a 1943 worn date that will 100% guaranteed be attracted to a magnet. Sounds like a good candidate for a replating...

It looks like a 1943 but doesn't look like metal so my other guess is a 44 or 42.

At this point it is a slug. (but worth 1 cent)
