Best Answer

The value of a copper 1943 penny is $200,000+. However, copper-plated counterfeits are prevalent. In order to test for a counterfeit, run a magnet over the penny. If it doesn't stick, you are now the proud owner one of the rarest mis-struck coins in U.S. Mint history.

It isn't. Normal 1943 pennies are worth 3-15 cents depending on condition because they are made out of steel and are collected even by non-collectors as curiosities. The only expensive 1943 pennies are the copper pennies which were made by mistake. When they turned on the machines to make the 1943 steel pennies, some copper blanks were left inside the machines and so a tiny amount of 1943 copper pennies were created by mistake. Since there might only be ~15 made, they are worth a lot. But an ordinary 1943 penny is only worth a few cents.
