The 1943 penny was made of steel with a zinc coating [ hence the silver look]. They are steel so they are attraced to a magnet. The value depends on the condition and with no rust showing they sell for about $0.50 to $1 and then more if they are in better condition.

AnswerUncirculated examples sell for $1 to $2. In any lower condition a dealer may give 5 or 10 cents. He already has rolls of them that he can't sell.

1943 pennies are made of steel. This is because in 1943, the government needed so much copper to make war materials. Some pennies from 1943 are copper, because the government made a mistake. The copper 1943 pennies are worth about $10,000.

Does silver stick to a magnet?

A magnet does not normally stick to silver. However a current of electricity passing through silver wire will produce a magnetic field around the wire. That electric field would have an effect on a magnet, the principle of a solenoid switch. Copper is usually used in such switches as it is cheaper but silver could be used.

How can you tell if your 1943 penny is real?

If it is silver in color and sticks to a magnet, it is real (and worth between a dime and a few dollars). If it is copper and doesn't stick to a magnet (and has not had the date changed by some nefarious means), it is worth several thousand dollars. you could tell if it is very rusty and you also can go to a secailest


Will silver plated stick to a magnet?

You can not plate silver with iron, so no. (you can cover silver inside iron, but that would be just ridiculous, unless you want to hide the silver) But if you plate iron with silver, then you can lift the silvery object with magnet. (because the magnet sticks to the iron) But silver, whatever state it is in (wire, plate, necklace) does not stick to a magnet.
