Hmm I wonder if that isn't whizzed on the front and stained on the reverse. It can't be a woody of course.

Do not exist this think woody coin for 1943 penny. The woody is aply to cooper alloy only.

It looks whizzed on the obverse.
Errers and Varietys.

Why would someone whiz a standard 1943? Just curious as to what intentions that technique would do on such a common date

It "brightens" it up makes it look a higher grade. Makes it PMD. John1  |

Pretty much agree with all above--a cleaned obverse and a partial stain (and splotch of crud) on the reverse.

@Soncerea Agree, obverse appears to be whizzed or harshly cleaned, while the reverse is stained or has foreign material attached. All PMD. |

Improper alloy mix errors are found on older coins and Lincoln cents prior to 1983 with streaks or lines of varying widths and lengths. A woody is an improper alloy mix for example. https://www.error-ref.com/improper-alloy-mix/Modern cents can have a slightly similar look also from roller marks. Roller marks on Lincoln cents are found more commonly in the 70s and 80s (78-82 Lincoln cents and nickels had lots of 'narrow striped cents') but also have been turning up looking more lon the 82 and later zinc cents. "roller marks" refers to marks left when rolling out the stock from which blanks are punched. it looks like parallel lines indicative of roller marks from dirty rollers which press planchet metal to their desired thickness. This effect is quite common in copper-alloy cents from the late 1970s and early 1980s. In those you might notice how the lines are basically parallel with almost no thickness variation within each line. These are actually on the planchet, and not on the die: Streaks and lines of varying widths and lengths are more likely to be the improper alloy mix. As mentioned by others your coin however may be whizzed. Heres some more info on that as most may not know what that is https://coinweek.com/counterfeit-de...izzed-coins/Edited by datadragon

I don't think a zinc-coated steel cent could possibly be a woodie.  |
