1943 Steel Penny Weight

to the CCF

You should always show a photo of both sides of the coin in question.
It is possible you have a slightly underweight cent or perhaps the coin is damaged. Without a photo we can't tell.
Also during the war quality was not a priority so a thinner planchet is not that uncommon.

Cell Phones (iPhone or Android): First, do not upload cell phone pictures of screens. They are terrible. Please check that your camera settings are set to Medium quality. If it uses compression use 70%, it's perfectly fine for the internet. For file type, please use WEBP if your phone has it, otherwise JPG. Avoid PNG and GIF, they are horrible choices. Be sure to crop the image to only show the coin. This is a great setup for cell phones.
