Steel pennies were only minted in 1943. If the penny you have is really a 1944 and is steel it is worth a couple thousand. If however it is really a 1943 it is worth .05 to 1.50 depending on condition. If it has no mintmark and is uncirculated it is worth $12.00. If it has a D and is uncirculated it is worth $15.00. If it has a S and is uncirculated it is worth $25.00. The mintmark is located below the date.
