All 1942 US cents were struck in a bronze alloy that contained 95% copper. Any 1942 cent that appears to be made of another metal is almost certainly an ordinary cent that was plated or has been exposed to something that affected the bronze color (e.g. heat or chemicals).

How come a 1943 penny is worth so much?
It isn't. Normal 1943 pennies are worth 3-15 cents depending on condition because they are made out of steel and are collected even by non-collectors as curiosities. The only expensive 1943 pennies are the copper pennies which were made by mistake. When they turned on the machines to make the 1943 steel pennies, some copper blanks were left inside the machines and so a tiny amount of 1943 copper pennies were created by mistake. Since there might only be ~15 made, they are worth a lot. But an ordinary 1943 penny is only worth a few cents.
What is the worth of a 1942 P Jefferson nickel?
July 19, 2009 The 1942 Jefferson Nickel was struck at 3 US Mint facilities; Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. The mintmark for these coins is found on the reverse [tails] side of the coin above the building. A "P" indicates the coin was struck at the Philadelphia mint. A "D" indicates the coin was struck at the Denver Mint. An "S" indicates the coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint. There were 2 varities of Jefferson nickels minted in 1942. The early 1942 coins were standard nickels containg 75% copper and 25% nickel, but the later 1942 nickels were 56% copper, 35% silver and 9%manganese. Much of the value of the silver nickel lies with the silver it contains. Coins with noticeable wear are valued by this silver content and are worth about 75 cents . The non-silver nickels with noticeable wear are worth 10 to 50 cents depending upon the actual condition of the coin.The values for better grade Philadelphia nickels are shown in the chart below.

What is the value of 1979 penny that is gold tinted looks real and sticks to a magnet?
A normal 1979 penny will not stick to a magnet -- it's made almost entirely of copper -- a non-magnetic material.

In either case, it's value would only be as a novelty item -- perhaps a couple dollars at best.
