1943 cents were struck in zinc-coated steel to free up copper for the war effort. Many were saved as curiosities so they're not a rare item.
Without a mint mark, a 1943 cent with average wear is worth about a dime. In almost uncirculated condition it retails for 35¢.
With a D under the date, 15 - 55 cents
With an S, 15 - 65 cents.
In really pristine uncirculated condition, perhaps 2 to 5 dollars.
Beware of "reprocessed" cents that have been replated with zinc to cover any rust spots that developed over time. They look nice but are considered to be damaged coins and have very little value except as conversation pieces.
1943 Copper CentsIf you have a 1943 United States cent made of copper (and if you do, it's probably fake because there are only a handful in existence), then you have something worth several thousand dollars.
The 1943 silver colored penny is worth about $0.12 - $0.15 cents if they are in a circulated condition. If in an uncirculated condition, they could be would be worth up to $0.50 cents. The pennies are made out of steel due to the fact that during World War II copper was needed for making the shell casings of bullets.
Around 5 cents.
