These are quite rare and worth quite a bit of money. Most steel pennies bear the date of 1943, ones bearing the date of 1944 are error coins because there were a few steel blanks left in the machine when the mint changed the dies to 1944 in the same way that some copper 1943 cents were struck.
A 1944 steel cent generally will sell for around $75,000 or more depending on the condition. However, one needs to beware of fakes, a genuine 1944 steel cent will be magnetic and will have the numerals like a common copper 1944 cent.

1944D Wheat Penny; in very fine condition is worth $0.10, uncirculated is worth $1.50.
Sorry no silver pennies were ever made by the mint, but the 1943 cent was made from steel and a few 1944 cents were struck in steel by accident. If the date is 1944 see if it sticks to a magnet ,if it does take it to a coin dealer. If it doesn't stick it probably has been chrome plated.
It's worth about 4 cents.
