So I wasent sure but this steel cent looks like there's an error on the year. The coin is in decent condition it's just dirty. Was odd to me how rest of coin is in good shape except year and there's no signed of scratching it off or anything of the sort.

    That's a 1943-S Steel Cent, not 1994

    The last two digits might look 'funny' due
    to a very common filled die effect; very
    common on 1943 Steel Cents.
