Steel '43 cents are subject to a wide range of staining/corrosion issues due to environmental exposure. I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary, given the pics posted. I've rummaged through thousands and thousands of steel cents over several decades of searching and collecting and have seen similar examples.
