1943 Steel Wheat Penny error or PMD?

[KennyFLA]

Looking through my coins and I noticed this dimple on the back side of an uncirculated 1943 steel wheat penny. The condition makes me think that its some kind of a mint error, but I am not familiar with said error. I tried googling and found some information about bubbles in the metal when the coin was being made. What do you think, does it give the coin extra value?

Thanks for the reply. I kind of thought the same thing, but was surprised I had never noticed it before.

It is hard to determine or say with certainty whether the coin has a "Struck Thru" Error or if it was damaged as the coin appears to be a 1943 Zinc coated Steel Cent that has been Reprocessed (i.e. cleaned and then re-coated with Zinc).
