Only a couple of these have been authenticated, and are worth over $100,000. However there are many counterfeits out there -- copper pennies that have been zinc plated. Do the magnet test -- a real 1944 steel cent will stick to a magnet. If it passes this test, and has been examined for an altered date (using a strong magnifier), then you would need to get it certified (preferably by PCGS or NGC).

∙ 15y agoMake sure your references are correct. Normal 1944 cents were made of copper and do NOT stick to a magnet.
However, a few steel blanks from 1943 were left over and accidentally were struck with the 1944 date, basically the flip side of what happened when some copper 1942 blanks were struck with the 1943 date.
A genuine 1944 steel cent WILL stick to a magnet. While not quite so famous as its 1943 cousin, 1944 error cents sell for anywhere from a few thousand dollars if circulated up to as much as $110,000 for a pristine uncirculated one.

What if a 1944 steel penny looks like a copper one but is magnetic?
Then it isn't a genuine US coin. All steel cents were dated 1943, and while there were some steel cents struck in 1944, all of them would look steel because the copper cents weren't plated with anything so they would be a steel cent dated 1944 not a copper-looking cent dated 1944.
What is the value of a 1964 steel US cent?
If real? Priceless. However, since US steel pennies were only struck in 1943 (and a VERY small number in 1944), it is a worthless fake. Now, if you had a 1974 Aluminum penny -- THAT would be worth quite a lot.....

What is the value of a 1944 d US cent?
1c 1943 is the expensive one $10,000- $85,000 This is incorrect! The 1943 steel cents were the common ones for the one year. During the changeover from the steel planchets of 1943 to the shell-case brass planchets for 1944, a few of the 1943 steel planchets were accidently stamped with the 1944 date. There were about 27 P 1944 steel cents authenticated, about 7 or 8 Denver 1944 cents and 1 or 2 San Francisco mint coins authenticated.
