They're not as valuable as most people believe. A set of three could be worth about a dollar.
The 1943 steel cents are worth about 10 cents in circulated condition, or upwards of a dollar if it still has the original zinc coating. Then the '44 and '45 pennies are worth around 3 cents each. They're old, but not rare or valuable.
In average circulated condition, a 1942 steel penny is worth around 10 to 25 cents, while a 1943 steel penny is worth about 15 to 30 cents. The 1943D and 1943S steel pennies are more valuable, ranging from 50 cents to a few dollars depending on their condition.
Despite being packaged as a wartime set, none of those coins are rare or especially valuable. The 1943 is worth 10 cents, and the rest are worth around 3 cents each.
AnswerIt's probably what's called a filled-die error. A bit of grease or other crud gets into the tiny recesses of the lettering and prevents the metal from flowing into it when the coin is struck*. These are fairly common so I wouldn't expect that your coin is worth more than its normal value of about 25¢ (*) To clear up confusion, coins are said to be struck or minted. In the numismatic world the term "printed" is reserved for things made with paper and ink, like dollar bills.A 1943 mistake could possibly be worth $$$50,000$$$ No seriously if it is truthfuly a 1943 than WOW you are RICH
