I took the pictures and put on high resolution. It is the classic fake 1943 coins. Just look at the AMERICA alignment and you has the answer.(small clue)

As others have stated, there are clues in how you obtained this specimen. Unfortunately, many over the years have been fooled by counterfeit pieces, both good and bad. Weight of a genuine 1943 copper cent should be near 3.1 grams, while a steel cent should come in at 2.7 grams.

The doubled rim on the reverse above UNAM is a giveaway that it is counterfeit.
