Proof coinage was suspended during WWII so there are no proof cents were struck in 1943. You may have a gem uncirculated coin, which would require evaluation by a good appraiser, or you may have a "reprocessed" coin that's been polished and replated. In either case you'll need an in-person inspection.

Unless it is special in some way, i.e., uncirculated or proof , it is worth one cent. A nice uncirculated one might retail for 25-35 cents, while a proof might be 35-50 cents.1 cent
