You were advised poorly. The last digit has been altered from 1943.
Not sure but recently I was advised this was a 44 steel I was showing a friends fiancee. My granddad's watch when he seen his collection of coins and asked to view them I have no idea what he meant I tried researching but I don't know nor understand. I added the other one 43 because it is the same material as that other one but I have other 44 cents made from copper so who knows lol maybe you can help he weighed the coun It was like 2.8 I believe I know it was not over 3 don't know wha
