I do not have full pictures, just of the date. It is scratched, but can tell it is the real deal.   |

There's a lot of damage showing on the date. This poor Wheat cent has been through a lot unfortunately. Errers and Varietys.

It weighs 3.08 grams and does not stick to a magnet, not steel for sure.

It looks as if it shows the outline of a 5.

If it doesn't stick to a magnet then why do you say it's a 1943-S . I don't see a 3 nor do I see an S .  |

This appears to be a 1945.
The bottom tip of the three from 1943 extends below the bottom line of the other numerals in the date. The bottom tip of the terminal digit on the OP's coin stops much too high to be a 1943.

Based on the shape of the 4, I would guess 1946.

Good point Zurie . If it is a San Francisco issue, it's not uncommon to see the 46 weaker than the 19.

The 1943 cents were 2.7 grams. (And steel 99.99% of the time)  |

See all the coin damage on the coin? Just one mark like any of these would turn your coin into a cull coin. So it is a cull Wheat cent. |

I went to the cell phone photo and tried to darken it a little.  |

It looks like 1946 to me also.

I'm thinking 1945, Note how the bottom of the 3 and the 5 look similar on the bottom of the digit on this coin. Obvious damage to try to cover that up.
