That is one cool 1943 Cent! The zinc transfer from the dies really gives it a very unique look.

I sure spent a lot of hours looking for one of these years ago.
Of course, I still check all the wheaties I find.... Hope springs eternal.... 
Cheers, RickO
Dies are steel, not zinc, don't understand this comment. Please enlighten.

I don’t understand the “zinc transfer” comment, either.

Mark,
Thank you for the link!

Here's the TrueView and Heritage slab photos:
The zinc comes from the dies striking tens of thousands of zinc plated planchets before striking this bronze one!
@Zoins ... Thank you for posting that coin.
I've never heard that before. Reference of some sort? Phenomenon observed in a non-coin context?
I think @Sonorandesertrat is a metallurgist. He might know. I've owned a couple of copper circs and an unc-ish steel '44 so I sorta keep an eye out for these.
