  I think yesterday was yesterday, and tomorrow that coin will still be unsold.

  Some coins are just plain "Interesting"

  Kind of neat if it's real. Is that yours? Check with coppercoins.com.

  I don't really do errors or know all that much about them, but in my estimation my uneducated guess is that this is a fake. It's "too good" to be true. I'm sure an error expert could pick this one apart and find the problem.

  I'd say it's a fake. There was a rash of these 1943/42 copper cents back in the 60's or 70's. The were struck using counterfeit 1943 dies. If this was real I would expect to much less of the 1942 strike visible because the presses were set for a higher pressure strike in 1943. (Because steel was much harder than the copper alloy.) This would have flattened the 1942 striing much more than shown here. Also the IGWT from the 1943 strike should be plainly visible since it would have been struck onto the area of the lower bust of the 1942 strike. Since the metal was already high there it would have very easily have filled the motto on the 1943 strike.
