The missing 4 is likely due to a foreign substance in the die when the coin was struck -- not very rare. Collectors for this type of thing generally will only pay a dollar or less for it.
The steel cents were only struck in 1943 and have values of 3 to 5 cents depending on condition
A magnetic 1943 wheat penny, made of steel and coated with zinc, is generally worth between 10 to 50 cents in circulated condition. However, if it is in uncirculated or mint condition, its value can increase to several dollars. Keep in mind that genuine magnetic 1943 pennies are rare, and collectors often seek them, which can further affect their market value. Always consider having rare coins appraised by a professional for an accurate valuation.
The only steel cents were struck in 1943, not 1993. The last wheat cents were struck in 1958. If your coin is dated 1943, it's worth about a quarter. If it's dated 1993 it's a Lincoln Memorial cent. If it's 1993 and is silver colored you'll need to have it inspected in person by a dealer to determine if it's been plated (no extra value) or is missing the copper coating so its zinc core shows through (a mint error worth several dollars).
dude.. that was only a few years ago. a dollar. lol now if you wanna make some big bucks.. find a penny from either 1943 or 42. thats worth about 2000 dollars
As of mid-2011 the answer is yes. A unique 1943-D bronze cent recently sold for $1.75 million. This coin was one of a number of 1943 cents accidentally struck on bronze blanks left over from 1942. A total of between 10 and 20 are known from all 3 mints, but only one is known from Denver so it has a much higher value than those from Philadelphia or San Francisco.
Filled die errors are very common and have little value if any.
A 1943 steel penny with no mintmark can be worth $.35 - $1.50
A 1943 steel penny is worth just that 1cent.
This is a very common error caused by a filled die and adds nothing the value of the coin.
it is not rare enough to have any value [will have value in about 3 years]
No such thing. Steel cents were only minted in 1943.
Average value is 5 to 25 cents.
1943 was the only year for steel cents
No such thing. Steel cents were produced in 1943, not '42.
Just regular steel, not stainless steel. That metal was too hard for use in coins back in 1943.
its value a 1943s is 0.40 1943p is 0.30 1943d is 0.35
There are over 1 billion steel 1943 pennies. The value of one is at most $2. In circulated condition they go for 10 to 25 cents.
