These have sold for $40,000 to $80,000. If you think you have one, first try to pick it up with a magnet. If you can, it is a steel cent with a copper coating. If it passes that test, compare it to a 1948 cent under a good magnifier. If the '3' looks just like the right side of the '8', it has been altered. If it passes that one, too, compare it to a common steel 1943 cent. The date should look exactly the same. If you still think it is genuine, contact one of the major third party grading and authentication services.

There's no such thing as a "lead penny". The only metals used to make U.S. cents have been copper, bronze, steel (1943 only) and zinc (1982-present).
A 1943 steel penny is worth just that 1cent.
most likely less than 100
