There are NO proofs for 1943 Lincoln Cents.
Proofs stopped in 1942 because of World War 2 & did NOT start up, again, until 1950.

I hope this helps.

Appears to be replated.

davewesen

I also vote replated, giving prooflike appearance

Kliao

The cent has been re-plated giving that shiny new look.

ricko

I have two original rolls of '43 cents.... They do NOT look like that. That cent has been either replated or polished. Cheers, RickO

Many 1943 steel cents have been reprocessed to make them look better. I still have a PDS set a local dealer gave me when I was a kid back in the early 70s, so they have been around for a while. They do look better than a bunch of rusty steel cents, but most of the numismatic value is gone

What made you think it was a proof?

.......must be a difacult decision.

Looks like a polished reprocessed one!

ambro51

Check it with a Magnet! It might be a copper one that some wise guy chrome plated!

Yeah but it's not a proof.

Owlx

What's the value on ur penny o the slab a few hundred

lkeigwin

Yes, it's been plated.

Here's mine. You can have it for $5 plus shipping.

The value is perhaps $7
I admit I paid more for the fun of having an old holder sample slab w/CAC
You could find one for far less, sans CAC, without much trouble

FWIW, here's what a real one looks like.
