[Real or Fake?] 1943 Steel Cent from the United States [gelöst]

Good day!

I received another gift that was purchased from some app called Shopee. Again, since they were bought online, I'm having doubts about the coin's authenticity. I'm thinking that it's real, though, considering the corrosion and the consistency of the design and measurements listed in the coin's Numista page (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3173.html). However, I always seek more opinions so I'm 99.9% sure.



The diameter (measured through calipers) is 18.85 mm. The thickness is consistent with its non-steel counterpart.
(Also, yes, I'll definitely change the coin flip when my order arrives.)

Any relevant input is very much appreciated. Feel free to move this post to a more appropriate section of the forum if it does not fit here. Thank you!

The coin is real.

These are common coins, and in that condition it should have cost you very little.

​Exactly this. A counterfeit of this coin would be truly bizarre.

Thank you very much for your time and valuable inputs! Glad to know it's real.
I'm not sure how much they spent on this but It was most certainly not a fortune.

many have been cleaned and re-zinc-ed.
there was a craze for these in the 60s.
still worth less than a dollar.

I agree that it has the look of a re-coated coin (unusually shiny).

​I agree that it's replated, it has way too much wear and it has the bluish look of a replated coin
