Re: 1943 silver wheat penny
Please don't post comparison images. Thanks.
The first thing you do with a 1943 cent is to give it a magnet test, if it doesn't stick then you weigh it. If it sticks it's a normal and cleaned steel cent.

Re: 1943 silver wheat penny
A normal 1943 Wheat Penny is made from Steel for WW2 efforts to conserve Copper, they are known as Steel Pennies. A magnet test will show if it's a Steel penny. (I have one, which is a 1943-D)
