About 3 cents in average circulated condition. It's the 1943 that gets expensive if it does not stick to a magnet. Only about a dozen of these copper 1943 cents exist.

How much is 1909 penny worth back of a dime and this one does not attach to a magnet like others-they said on the news that a collector was looking for a penny with this description worth 1.000.000?
If there is a 1909 penny with the back of a dime, it is a magician's coin made by a private company, not a mint product. About 2 years ago there was a news story about a collector who had left his copper 1943 penny laying around and his wife spent it. That is the only thing that is checked by a magnet - a normal 1943 cent is the only penny that will stick to a magnet and a copper one will not. Anyway, that story was a bunch of BS and the "collector" admitted it.
