1943 was the only year cents were minted in steel.

If you have a silver-color 1949 cent it's been plated or otherwise altered. That makes it an altered coin worth only face value. But don't shed any tears; even in almost-uncirculated condition an unaltered 1949-S cent is worth less than a quarter.

Why is a 1944 steel penny worth so much and a 1943 steel penny is not?

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.
