The term is actually mint MARK, and cents without a mint mark are from the Philadelphia Mint. That's true even for current-date cents although Philadelphia has used a "P" mint mark on all other denominations since 1980.

a 1943 D penny is worth 1.7 million dollars
The 1944 steel penny is valued highly because it was produced using leftover steel from World War II, as the U.S. Mint switched back to copper for the penny in that year. In contrast, the 1943 steel penny, made from zinc-coated steel to conserve copper during the war, is much more common, making it less valuable. The rarity and historical significance of the 1944 steel penny contribute to its higher market price, while the 1943 version is abundant and widely circulated.

If it's a 1943 steel penny, it isn't worth much...a few cents if it's circulated, or a little more, maybe 50 cents if it's uncirculated. If it's a 1943 copper penny take it to a reputable coin dealer as fast as you can get there. HOWEVER, I can basically guarantee you that it isn't a 43 copper penny, because only about 10 are known to exist. If it's silver in color, it's a steel penny. If it happens to be copper in color, have someone check it out, BUT, it's likely a fake if it's copper.
The value of a copper 1943 penny is $200,000+. However, copper-plated counterfeits are prevalent. In order to test for a counterfeit, run a magnet over the penny. If it doesn't stick, you are now the proud owner one of the rarest mis-struck coins in U.S. Mint history.
1.7 Million dollars, that was what a collector recently paid for a 1943 copper penny made at the Denver mint, the only known 1943 copper penny struck there (keep in mind that the 1943 pennies were struck in steel, the copper 1943 pennies are errors).

It cost the Mint 2.5 cents to make a penny.
It's a common novelty coin, not worth very much. A 1973 penny is currently worth about 2 cents for its copper content, and one with Kennedy carved into is worth as much as someone on eBay will pay for it.
