A 1943 Copper cent is worth as much as $40,000 because most cents from America in 1943 were made from steel because of the need of copper for WWII. A few copper cents were made in error and are very rare coins.
However, there are many counterfeit "1943" cents made from 1948 pennies by shaving away the left-hand side of the "8". The difference should be obvious. A genuine 1943 cent has an asymmetrical 3 in the date, with the tail pointing down at a 45º angle. A fake made from a 1948 cent has a symmetrical 3, with the top and bottom halves of the digit being semicircular.
