1943 Steel cent with weak 4 in the date

What do you know about a 1943 P steel Lincoln that has a very weakly struck 4 in the date? I have a nice UNC one but have not been able to find anything regarding this coin, even if is a recognized variety. Any help is appreciated.

Steel is much harder than bronze. I've never seen any statistics, but I would guess that the mints went through more dies in 1943 relative to the mintages than it did in the previous and succeeding years. Striking issues like this are more often found on the steel cents.
I recall long ago forum member Stone was doing some kind of study on die cuds on steel cents.
I sent him one gratas that had a pretty substantial cud on the reverse.
