No. They were minted in the hundreds of millions.

You may be confusing those dates with 1943 copper cents, which were struck in error and ARE rare. Copper was a strategic war metal needed for ammunition, so in 1943 the Mint struck cents out of zinc-coated steel. A few copper blanks left over from 1942 accidentally got mixed in with the steel blanks and were struck with the 1943 date.

Genuine 1943 cents sell for tens of thousands of dollars. All known coins have been accounted for, so don't expect to find a real one in change. There are lots of counterfeits though, either steel cents that were copper-plated or 1948 cents where the 8 was altered into a 3.

You are trying to collect pennies from 1900 to 1999 what would a complete collection be worth?

It all depends on what type of penny is it. If they are all regular non-errored pennies then your set is worth $.99. If it includes a book/holder it may be worth a little more. If you have a 1943 copper penny, 40 exist in the world today, they are worth over $100,000 per penny. It all depends on which pennies you have. The above is the rarest for 1900-1999.
