Looks like a bronze 1943 with the 3 and mint mark quad struck!

    Sorry, but the last digit was damaged. Compare it a 3 on a steel 1943 cent

    Also, I'm seeing nothing that indicates a quadruple mm

    Looks like a damaged 1, definitely not a 3.

    Mangled last digit. Happened after it left the mint. The coin is beat up in other areas as well.

    “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
    “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.”
    “Don’t get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.”
    “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.”
    “Dream more, learn more, care more, and be more.”

    Parton’s quotes often blend humor, humility, and practical wisdom, reflecting her life journey from rural Tennessee to global stardom. They remind us to embrace challenges, nurture relationships, and live with purpose and joy.

    there's not enough metal there to make a 3.
