I think this is really rare but I am not sure exactly what I have. Someone please help identify and find out what it could be worth.   |

What makes you think it's an error coin? In case you didn't know 1943 cents were minted in steel to save copper for the war.  |

Because it looks like copper was printed in with the steel. It doesn't look like it's just a plating either.

In the condition that its in, it maybe worth 25 cents. The 1943 are probably one of the most hoarded LWC. I had over 50 at one point.  I sold, gave most away and kept a few high quality ones.  Even these are only worth around $15 each. |

Normal steel cent with rust. Worth only a few cents.

Hi I hope you get this I time . In my opinion ( & I have studied many pennies & I agree it looks like copper has been added to the penny or something (not rust) it's to distinct & it's pretty much the same on both sides I would take it to a Prof. coin place it wouldn't hurt. Good Luck

No, this is a simple case of RUST. I am certain there are many here that can show you various stages of what a rusty steel cent looks like. It is a very common issue with these, do to poor storage (moisture). |
