If magnetic it's a steel cent that's been plated years earlier. How about the damaged one, is is also magnetic?
Not real
the damaged one non magnetic. however severely damaged. but can still see the date under magnification.
Welcome @unluckyluck to the forum.
Cents do not look right. Take it to a coin shop so they can see it in-hand and let us know what they say.
You can be sure. The magnetic one is played. The corroded one probably isn't even a 43.

Might be a 1942 Memorial penny -- like this one:
If magnetic, it is fake...the damaged one is difficult to determine the date... in the left picture, it looks like a '44, and the right picture is indeterminable.....Cheers, RickO
That 1942 Memorial reverse is a really tough find. Congrats.
Yep...and the date is really clear, too. 1942 Memorial cents are very difficult to find in such nice condition.
