Mint records show that 217,660,000 were made in Denver. However there's no reliable estimate of how many have survived. A lot of steel cents were saved as curiosities, but many were melted to recover the metal and others simply rusted.
A total of 191,550,000 was minted in the U.S. of 1943s. How many are still around ? It is impossible to say.
There are no exact records of the number of copper pennies made in 1943. It was about 40. Most pennies that year were made of steel.
Over a million dollars if it is genuine. However, there are only a handful of known genuine 1943 copper pennies. Many "copper" 1943 pennies are either genuine 1943 cents dipped in copper to make them appear to be copper (but will still stick to a magnet due to the steel) or other years of wheat pennies with the date altered to make it look like a 1943 penny, however, experienced coin dealers and graders will be able to spot these as altered dates.
None. The first steel cents were struck in 1943. Because the steel blanks weren't used until after the end of the 1942 runs there was no possibility of off-metal strikes like the famous 1943 copper or 1944 steel errors.
All of them were supposed to be made of steel, however there were a few copper coins accidentally struck that year. Its extremely rare to come across copper pennies from that year.
