How can you tell if the 1943 copper wheat-back penny is a Philadelphia or a San Francisco specimen?

The 1943 Wheat Cent was made of steel.Very few of these coins are known to have been made of copper. To determine where the coin was minted it is necessary to locate the mint mark. This mark is a small letter located just below the date. If there is an "S" there the coin was minted in San Francisco. If there is a "D" the coin was minted in Denver. If there is no letter below the date the coin was minted in Philadelphia.
