Would PCGS slab this coin?

Obviously NOT a real 1943 copper, but sure is pretty. What’s the chance of a “Genuine” holder, saying “Plated”? 
Just sitting on top of. Slab here

Why waste the money to see if they will slab a damaged/altered coin?

I seriously doubt that the major grading services would slab it but I think that ICG would slab it with the proper notation on the label that it's a copper plated steel cent.

Probably about zero.

I agree with Tom, yet it appears to already be slabbed?

He stated under the pic it's just sitting on top of a slab.

Probably 0%. I think the fact that it is a copper plated 1943 vastly outweighs the authenticity of the base coin in this case.

What is interesting here is that PCGS has set a policy of slabbing plated 1943 cents.
The question then lies if it matters what the plating is.
Perhaps a copper plating is exempt from being slabbed as it too closely resembles an error war cent.
Another cent PCGS deemed acceptable for grading/slabbing:
