Finally got a WiFi microscope and was going through coins last night. Found 2 errors on this 1943 steel penny but could find no info on it. The coin is in fair shape and appears to have a ddo on the date and an rpm. Picture arranged. Input?

Some of the 1943 cent dies were plated with chromium. They lasted longer and produced better looking coins with less clogging than normal steel dies.

Do yourself a favor and return that microscope and get your money back, 99% of the important errors can be seen unaided and those that need some magnification only need 7X.  Every time someone posts photos form their microscope that they think are double die coins or other valuable errors they always turn out not to be so.  I have said it before but it bears repeating, everything looks like an error at the micron level.
