Deannalea - If you want to learn about various WW-II era coin experiments, borrow a copy of United States Pattern and Experimental Pieces of WW-II from the ANA Library or your local Library via ILL. There is a table of experimental pieces plus a detailed list of pieces made by date of test.
“United States Patterns & Experimental Pieces of WW-II” is a good book if your posting to this thread looking for information about 1943 steel and/or copper coins.

Try your local library or "WorldCat.org" for interlibrary loan (ILL).
Now I see how the fingerprints got on it. Learn how to properly hold coins.
No. Breen would have called it the last of the matte proof coinage.
Were there only errors found in 1943?
The only year there were steel cents was 1943.
Experimental Lincoln cents. Not the steel cents.
Are there any other experimental Lincoln cents from 1942 or 1943?

Start by weighing it. 99.999% chance that it is plated.
Welcome. Go to pg 1 and read all the posts. It will give you a fair idea about your coin.
