I have had this coin for a while but am curious if anyone can find something on it that would prove it is real or fake. It weighs 3.1 grams and does not stick to a magnet.

Thanks!

Thanks. I am not a coin collector so I don't know much about them. so more than likely someone made this to look like a real one?

People sell these from other countries like China and Serbia. They sell for less that $15, but are counterfeits.

Genuine copper 1943 Lincoln cents are exceedingly rare.
