    Likely a Chinese fake. Need a photo. Check the weight.

    Isn't that a 1943 steel cent? Corroded. Worth a couple cents.

    Very badly corroded 1943 steel cent. No collector value in that condition.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Why do you think it's a 1944?

    I really dont know I was guessing. I couldn't see it but thought I saw a faint 4. It could be a 3 too

    If it were a genuine 1944 steel penny, it might be worth thousands of dollars even in that condition.
    But corroded1943 steelies are a dime a dozen. :grin:

    Welcome. Great question. Great answers. You should maybe continue with a little research about collecting because you apparently have a good eye and some interest.
    Kinda how we all got started. 👍🏼( then there’s me who lacks the good eye but fortunately it can be helped with study😂)

    @Amscozzaro73.... Welcome aboard. I agree with the above, a corroded 1943. Good pictures.... Cheers, RickO
