 Looks like it was a 1953 S. |

@numis, first welcome to CCF. Second, with that hit to the top left corner of the third digit in the date, it sure looks like the top of a number four now. I agree with @tunn that this coin was minted 10 years later though.

Looks too damaged to be graded in my opinion can still certify its authenticity but would it have to go to auction to determine its value? Being there's no clear "pricing" scale its highly "valuable" right? in other words very rare and highly sought in any condition ie: raw, certified authentic, graded.

I got a neck ache trying to look at that coin up-right. I turned it around for you.. The '1' is almost obliterated, the '9' took a hit to almost turn it onto a '0', the third number most likely a '5' and the top got smashed down to the weird angle we see.   |

Certainly not a copper 1943-S, just a mangled coin of some other date.  to the CCF! |

Agree with dearborn.
Just a badly mangled 1953

Agree with all above--mangled copper Lincoln cent--not a '43 S on a copper planchet. Didn't we see something similar come across this forum a few weeks ago?

Looks to be a 1953-S to me.
Amazing how many horribly damaged "1943-S" cents show up on this forum. This is at least the 2nd one in the last 2 weeks!

I saw one, one time that was a copper poor of the obverse of a obverse cent. The reverse had no design, just bumpy surface. (I've kicked myself for years not saving that image. It probably is still out there on the web somewhere?)
