To clear things up a bit: first, the U.S. only struck steel cents in 1943. Current cents are struck on zinc and coated with a thin layer of copper plating.
Second, the only 1990 cents to have an S mint mark are those in sealed proof set packages. All circulation cents since 1975 have only a D if struck Denver or no mint mark if from Philadelphia or West Point.
Now for the good news! Your coin could be missing its plating for one of two reasons: either it was never plated at the Mint, or someone dipped it in acid. You'd have to take it to a dealer or appraiser to be sure.
If it wasn't plated at the Mint, it's a fairly uncommon error that might retail for up to $100.
Unfortunately, if it was acid-dipped, it's only worth face value, so you will need to arrange for someone to inspect it in person.

The 1943-S steel Lincoln cent is common. Average value is 10 to 25 cents.
It depends on what you call an error, please be more specific and post new question.
The mintmark is a "S" or "D" they are the ones used on the 1943 Lincoln steel cents. Average value is 5 to 10 cents.
The value of a 1912 s penny depends greatly on the condition of the penny. In poor condition, it is only worth a penny, but in very good condition it may be worth $10 or more.

In order to give an estimate of the value of a penny, the mintmark and the date are needed. There are many, many "S" mint pennies, each with its own value.
1945 S Wheat Penny. CoinTrackers has estimated the 1945 S Wheat Penny value at an average of 15 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) could be worth $6.
yes i have i got 2 hundred for it
I actually have a 1943-S steel penny without the 3. This is caused by the number being filled in with debris from the minting process and is called an "error". Errors are collectable and price varies considerably from one source to another. Although not rare I consider one to be worth $2-$5 depending upon the condition of the coin.
