Looks like a bronze 1943 with the 3 and mint mark quad struck!

    Sorry, but the last digit was damaged. Compare it a 3 on a steel 1943 cent

    Also, I'm seeing nothing that indicates a quadruple mm

    Looks like a damaged 1, definitely not a 3.

    Mangled last digit. Happened after it left the mint. The coin is beat up in other areas as well.

    “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong.”

    “Then you trust more to your imagination than to your knowledge?”

    “I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”

    Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)

    @Coinenigmatix .... You have received an expert opinion from @FredWeinberg ... He is THE expert on error coins. Your coin is PMD as he indicated. Cheers, RickO

    there's not enough metal there to make a 3.
