Unless it's a Proof or MS-65 or better, you'll only get a few dollars from it. If you still want to try, though, eBay is a good idea. Thank you for correctly recognizing that these coins are made from zinc-coated steel rather than silver or lead, as many people believe. Unfortunately, unless your coins are in extremely fine to uncirculated condition, there is not much of a premium attached to them. Many were saved as curiosities so they generally retail for 25 to 50 cents each in average circulated condition. If you have at least a few dozen of them, you might be able to find someone at a coin show or antique flea market who would be willing to make a bulk purchase. You can sell your coins to a coin dealer, to a collector or at an auction. You can advertise in the newspaper or in coin magazines.

Is a copper penny of 1943 higher value than a penny of 2010 or a lower value?
HIGHER!!! It is worth $150,000!!!!CorrectionThe above response refers to an AMERICAN copper penny dated 1943. All Canadian cents dated 1943 were made of copper, while 2010 cents are copper-plated steel. 1943 Canadian cents are worth around 50 cents to a dollar depending on condition, so they're certainly worth more than 2010 cents but not a huge amount. To explain the value of a 1943 AMERICAN copper cent, the US Mint switched to zinc-plated steel that year because copper was needed for making ammunition. A few copper blanks left over from 1942 were accidentally mixed in and were struck with the 1943 date. These coins are very rare and can sell for the amount quoted above.
How can you sell a 1943 copper penny?
A penny is worth 1 cent. You can't sell it. You can only buy things with it. ^ whoever said that is dumb.. A copper penny from 1943 can be worth up to $20,000 depending on the condition. If I were you I would hold onto it because their are only about 40 of those. But if you insist on selling it, use google and search for coin dealers in your area. They will be able to help you determine the exact worth of your coin. Then you could sell it to them OR auction it off on a site like ebay. I wouldn't sell it to the dealer because he could sell it for more. Their are A LOT of coin collectors that would die for that penny so auctioning it off would be a better investment. You are so lucky. so so lucky.
