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.

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)

hi coin friends:
The 1943 steel penny I have does stick to a magnet, which I assume makes it not as valuable as 1943 that is non magnetic?

I greatly appreciate all the advice and knowledgeable wisdom that this coin community has shared with me!!
I now know not to put up comparison coins!! It wont happen again thank you Daniel.
I am sure more mistake on my end will occur please continue to point them out only way ill learn to fix the mistakes. This is my first ever forum community I have ever been apart of!!!!
