The highest price ever paid for a 1 cent coin is 1.7 Million dollars in June of 2010 for the only known example of a copper 1943-D Lincoln cent.
It means that the coin was made at the Denver mint.
It has a silver color because it is made out of steel. Copper was needed for the war and was in short supply, so steel pennies were made.
In average circulated condition, a 1942 steel penny is worth around 10 to 25 cents, while a 1943 steel penny is worth about 15 to 30 cents. The 1943D and 1943S steel pennies are more valuable, ranging from 50 cents to a few dollars depending on their condition.
The D on a penny indicates it was made at the Denver, Colorado mint
D stands for "denarius". It comes from when, back in the Roman times, the British used Roman currency (which was called the denarius). As the penny replaced the Denarius, the British continued to use the abbreviation "d." They passed this tradition on to South Africa, so the D on African coins is an abbreviation for penny.
