The value of any coin depends on its condition, primarily, as well as its rarity and various other factors. In the case of the 1943 steel cent, rarity isn't an issue; these coins that seem unusual today are actually quite common. A rough estimate would be that each coin is worth about a dollar to a collector; whether you could actually get a dollar each, or $850 for the lot, depends on your determination & patience, and whether someone would actually want that many steel cents in one batch. Realistically, unless your coins are nice uncirculated ones (and not replated) you will never live long enough to get $1 apiece for your coins from collectors -- more likely 5 to 10 cents apiece in circulated condition. There were over a billion of these steel cents minted, so they are relatively common -- easy to find at any coin show.

What is the value of a 1943 silver penny misprint?
Not silver and not a "misprint"* Assuming you are referring to a US penny with Abraham Lincoln on it, all 1943 pennies have a somewhat silvery appearance because they were made of steel with a zinc coating. Steel was used to save copper for the war effort. Any that you find in average condition are probably worth no more than about 25 cents. In exceptional condition they can be worth anywhere from a dollar to a couple of hundred, however. Now if you had a genuine 1943 penny made of copper (of which a handful are known), then you'd have something of great value - thousand of dollars. (*) Please note that coins are not printed, they're struck. "Printing" refers to paper and ink, e.g. dollar bills.
