The 1944 steel penny is worth between $75,000 and $110,000. This steel penny was minted by mistake and there were not a lot of them around.
The 1944 penny is notable for a specific error known as the "1944 Steel Penny." This error occurred when leftover steel planchets from 1943 were accidentally used for some 1944 coins, which were supposed to be made of copper. These steel pennies are rare and valuable, as the rest of the 1944 pennies were struck in copper. Collectors highly prize the steel version, making it a significant find for numismatists.

You can tell if a 1944 penny is made of steel by using a magnet. Place a magnet near the penny - if it sticks, then the penny is made of steel. Steel pennies were issued in 1943 due to a shortage of copper, so any 1944 penny made of steel would be an error.
1943 cents were made of steel, a magnetic metal, to conserve copper for the war effort. Other pennies are made of bronze or copper-plated zinc depending on their dates. Neither bronze nor zinc are susceptible to a magnet.
Test it with a magnet. 1943 steel cents are magnetic. 1944 copper cents are not.
