yes i had one that sold for 400 dollars
Yes, in 1951 some wheat pennies were accidentally struck on planchets intended for other denominations, such as dimes and quarters. These error coins are rare and highly sought after by collectors.
The 1943 penny sticks to a magnet because it is made of steel, not copper like other pennies from that era. While a 1943 copper penny is rare and valuable, it is not worth a million dollars. The most valuable 1943 pennies are those mistakenly struck in copper instead of steel and can fetch tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
The highest worth of a 1943 steel penny is about $10,000 for one that is in mint condition and graded by a professional coin grading service as being in flawless condition. These pennies are rare because steel was used in place of copper due to the shortage during WWII.
A 1943 Copper cent is worth as much as $40,000 because most cents from America in 1943 were made from steel because of the need of copper for WWII. A few copper cents were made in error and are very rare coins. However, there are many counterfeit "1943" cents made from 1948 pennies by shaving away the left-hand side of the "8". The difference should be obvious. A genuine 1943 cent has an asymmetrical 3 in the date, with the tail pointing down at a 45º angle. A fake made from a 1948 cent has a symmetrical 3, with the top and bottom halves of the digit being semicircular.
A silver penny from 1943 that sticks to a magnet is likely rare and could be a potential error coin. During this time, U.S. pennies were typically made of zinc-coated steel due to the priority of copper for the war effort. If your coin is indeed made of silver and sticks to a magnet, it may have been altered or could be a counterfeit. We recommend consulting with a coin expert or a professional to assess its authenticity and value.
