Test it with a magnet. 1943 steel cents are magnetic. 1944 copper cents are not.
The vast, vast, vast, majority of 1944 pennies are copper. If it sticks to a magnet it /might/ be steel, though you'd have to take it to an expert to make sure it wasn't altered from a steel 1943 penny.
Half of that is easy, and the other half is almost as simple. First, the U.S. never made any silver pennies because they'd be worth more than dimes. Second, the only steel pennies were struck in 1943 when copper was needed for the war effort. A genuine steel cent will stick to a magnet. If you have any other date that's silvery in color, it's almost certainly a normal cent that someone plated.
about two and eight tenths times (AKA 2.8, if you didn't know)
To calculate the weight of EN-24 steel, you need to know the volume of the steel and its density. The formula to calculate weight is Weight = Volume x Density. The density of EN-24 steel is around 7.85 grams per cubic centimeter.
The weight of 4140 steel varies depending on the form and dimensions of the material. On average, the density of 4140 steel is around 0.283 lb/in³. Therefore, to calculate the weight of a specific piece of 4140 steel, you would need to know its dimensions and then use the density to calculate the weight.
1944s wheat Penny
The vast, vast, vast, majority of 1944 pennies are copper. If it sticks to a magnet it /might/ be steel, though you'd have to take it to an expert to make sure it wasn't altered from a steel 1943 penny.
You can identify if a penny is a wheat penny from 1953 by looking at the reverse (tails) side of the coin. If it has two wheat ears framing the words "ONE CENT" and the image of the Lincoln Memorial, then it is a wheat penny from 1953. Wheat pennies were minted from 1909 to 1958 and are recognizable by the wheat ears on the reverse side.
Well . . . there have never been any silver pennies minted in the US, so you must be talking about the steel pennies. As far as I know, 1943 was the only year that steel pennies, or 'steelies', were minted.
Try the magnet test, if it sticks to it, it's steel.

Please someone let me know is worth something
I don't know what a 1053 wheat cent is worth but a 1953 is worth 3 to 5 cents retail in average circulated condition.

Put it under a magnet. If it sticks it is a steel penny. If it does not stick take to a collector or professional who can examine it further and give you a answer.
