look in coin magazines and coin websites and talk to coin dealers So many 1943 cents were saved as curiosities that most only retail for 25 to 35 cents. A dealer would be unlikely to pay you more than a dime to 15 cents unless the coin is in excellent condition.

Why is a 1944 steel penny worth so much and a 1943 steel penny is not?

The 1944 steel penny is valued highly because it was produced using leftover steel from World War II, as the U.S. Mint switched back to copper for the penny in that year. In contrast, the 1943 steel penny, made from zinc-coated steel to conserve copper during the war, is much more common, making it less valuable. The rarity and historical significance of the 1944 steel penny contribute to its higher market price, while the 1943 version is abundant and widely circulated.
