Unfortunately no. Mushy strike and rough surfaces means likely a cast counterfeit.

I strongly suspect that
standard '43 zinc coated steel Cent, but copper plated.
Very easy to do, in a high school lab or an equivalent 'shed job'.

Accurate check for weight at around 2.75 grams for a 'shed job'.
Standard Zn coated steel: 2.70 grams
Standard bronze or brass Cents: 3.11 grams.

I would expect no cigars after investigation this time, unfortunately.
