They were steel, not silver.
The 1943 steel cent is so common and low in value that no one bothers making fakes. It's the COPPER '43 that has fakes out there. A genuine steel penny is magnetic.
It's easy! Pennies were never made of silver. They would be worth way more than a cent. Steel pennies were made in 1943. So if you have a penny that was minted in 1943 it's not silver but rather steel.
All but about 1 to 2 dozen 1943 cents were made of steel. The ones made of copper were accidentally struck on leftover blanks intended for 1942 cents. Average prices for circulated 1943 steel cents range from 20 to 35 cents.
A 1943 steel penny with no mintmark can be worth $.35 - $1.50
A 1943 steel penny is worth just that 1cent.

No. It is steel coated with zinc.
Just regular steel, not stainless steel. That metal was too hard for use in coins back in 1943.
No such thing. Steel cents were only minted in 1943.
Around 5 cents.
About $1.00 that's all
