Best Answer

Assuming you have a penny dated after 1982, it's actually made out of zinc -- it's just missing its outer copper layer. It has a retail value of a couple of dollars.

If it's dated 1943, you have a standard "wartime" cent struck (btw, not "stamped") in steel to conserve copper for the war effort. Unless the coin is in like-new condition, it'll be worth 50¢ to $1.

What is the value of a 1977 penny that is made of steel?

Since there were none minted from steel that year, I would have to assume it is either plated (with silver, zinc, or nickel) which has no collector value, or it was minted on a foreign planchet, which would be worth about $50 You can verify that it is not steel by trying to stick it to a magnet. If it does not stick, then it is not steel.
