The Mint struck special versions of the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cents using the same bronze alloy as the original 1909 coins. However these were only sold to collectors and not put into circulation.
It's unlikely but always possible that someone spent one of these special coins. The best way to tell it from a standard circulation cent would be to weigh it on a sensitive scale. A 2009 bronze cent minted in the 1909 alloy would weigh 3.11 gm while a 2009 cent struck in the current copper-plated zinc composition would weigh 2.5 gm.

How do you know if you have a copper 1943 cent?
No additional authenticated 1943 cents have turned up in the last 25 years or so.A genuine 1943 copper cent:> will not stick to a magnet.> has a date where the bottom loop of the "3" is elongated rather than circular> weighs 3.11 gm> has smooth metal on the flat surfaces of the coin.If it appears to be copper but sticks to a magnet it's a regular steel cent that has been plated.If the bottom loop of the 3 is round, it's a 1948 cent that has been altered to make a crude counterfeit.If the flat parts of the design are somewhat pitted you have a copy, again a counterfeit.If it weighs much more or less than 3.11 gm it's also a fake.If it passes all of these tests you should have it examined in person.If you mean a 1943 Lincoln cent struck on a copper planchet, authentic coins are valued at $50,000.00 or more.

Who was the first woman to be featured on a 1 cent coin?
This is nearly impossible to answer without any clarification.As far as I know, the first country to use a "cent" (as in, just plain cent and not the translation of cent in say, French) is the US which featured a personification of Liberty on all cents up until 1909 when it was replaced by Lincoln. But, naturally that is not a real person.Most likely the first instance of a real person on a "cent" (again, just a plain cent and not the transliteration of a cent) would be Queen Victoria since she reigned in Canada which had a cent.
