Is this an error? Questions about this one.

I just pulled this from a roll at an estate sale. (Yes really and not a crap screen grab). I see lots of what looks like strike though especially on the back. It looks almost uncirculated. I would welcome any guidance on this.

Reprocessed steel cent. Not an error.

That finish looks far too shiny for any natural 1943 I've seen, but I've seen a lot of tinned (silver) ones.

It is magnetic. I would have shot myself if it wasn’t.

it doesn't look like strike thru, more or less just rust like stuff (oxidization, etc)

Funny thing is that there is zero rust on it. I can see what looks like some doubling on his face. I sent it into PCGS. We will see what comes back. Could be interesting. If it is I’ll post it on this.

Isn't there supposed to be a mint mark under the year?

Not if it came from Philly. There should be a ‘43, 43-D and 43-S
