I have been hearing about this 1943 copper penny alot lately..and it would be nice if I found one or everybody foumd one lol.. Anyways.I had mentioned the 1943 coper penny to my youngest brother whom I live with..and I told him how great it would be to find a 1943 copper penny..and he responded to me and said."I have one.."and left the room and grabbed this coin from wherever and said ."Here it is."
I was in denial. and looked at the coin and noticed it was damaged where the 3 should be...He seriously believes that this coin is the one..He tried to show me where he can see the 3 where it got pushed over and I thought I saw a 3.
Is there any psychic or forensic coin peeps out there who can get to the bottom of this?

 to the CCF We would need a close up of the date. The large hit on the date will probably make it impossible to tell what it was. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

Microscopic examination might lead to an answer. Take it to a local coin shop if there is one available to you.
The likelihood is about the same as finding a Picasso at a garage sale.

IMO, the damage is too severe to figure the date out.

I'd spend it and wouldn't even think twice about it.

Just a damaged coin. PSD. Errers and Varietys.

Think you're trying to see things that aren't actually there - as moxking has said the chance of this being an actual 1943 copper is overwhelmingly low.

The '3' on the 1943 cent is facing the opposite direction:  Just a normal copper cent on the 40's Wheat cent, but not a 43. |

 Too damaged to notice a "3", what does the back look like? To me looks like late 40s. |

The 4 in the date looks most like the one used in 1942.  |
