    In my opinion, More than likely, post mint damage. The US Mint would never release this. The coin was struck normally, and released into circulation. Then some one thought they would be funny and tried to hammer a "3" where the 4 is to make it a 1943 copper cent, worth a lot of money. It's nothing more than a damaged coin done in some one's garage.
