A genuine 1943 copper cent:
> will not stick to a magnet.
> has a date where the bottom loop of the "3" is elongated rather than circular
> weighs 3.11 gm
> has smooth metal on the flat surfaces of the coin.
If it appears to be copper but sticks to a magnet it's a regular steel cent that has been plated.
If the bottom loop of the 3 is round, it's a 1948 cent that has been altered to make a crude counterfeit.
If the flat parts of the design are somewhat pitted you have a copy, again a counterfeit.
If it weighs much more or less than 3.11 gm it's also a fake.
If it passes all of these tests you should have it examined in person.
