U.S. cents have never been made of lead.

Over a billion 1944 cents were struck in bronze. These are not rare and sell for less than a nickel.

A small number were accidentally struck in steel left over from the war-issue blanks used in 1943. All known ones are accounted for in collections.

A 1944 lead penny is likely an error or novelty coin. Lead was not used in regular penny production. In terms of value, it would mostly depend on its novelty or rarity to collectors, but it is not a typical or valuable coin.

A 1944-S Lincoln Cent (shell-case brass) in good condition (G4) is worth: 5 cents; its value increases to $2.50 if its mint state is MS60.
