No standard-issue cents from the 1940s are particularly valuable.
The only US cents from that decade that are worth a significant premium are the legendary 1943 copper and 1944 steel cents. These coins were made in error when a few blanks from the previous year apparently were stuck in the bottom of a bin and were mixed in with normal blanks during the change-over between steel and copper required by wartime shortages.

All wheat pennies, regardless of year are worth at least 3 cents if the date is readable. Some wheat pennies though, are worth quite a bit more. For instance, the 1909 S VDB penny is worth several hundred dollars even in worn condition and so is the 1914 D penny. However, a 1909 S VDB penny in pristine condition could be worth thousands of dollars. In general, the older the wheat penny the more valuable it is. For example, most wheat pennies dated in the 1940s-1950s aren't that valuable, but wheat pennies dated in the teens and twenties are worth a lot more.

You have to know the coin's date. Since the 1940s Denver has turned out so many cents that they're really not worth much more than face value. You have to go back to the 1920s and early 1930s before there are any dates where the Denver issues are worth more than Philadelphia. But at that time there were some years when coins from San Francisco were worth even more, and a few years when the Philadelphia ones were more valuable.
