A 1943 penny could be worth a lot of money primarily due to a rare error in its production. During World War II, the U.S. Mint switched to zinc-coated steel for pennies to conserve copper, but a small number of pennies were accidentally minted using copper instead. These copper 1943 pennies are extremely rare, with only a few known to exist, making them highly sought after by collectors and potentially worth thousands of dollars.
When the coin was minted back in 1943, it was worth exactly one cent. It had no special additional value.
a 1943 D penny is worth 1.7 million dollars
I looked up a wheat penny chart and it said, a 1943 penny is worth about 15 cents, a 1943 penny with a d mint-mark is worth about 18 cents, and a 1943 penny with an s mint-mark is worth about 20 cents. I'm not sure how recent the chart is, because if the chart is old they could be worth a bit more. But I'm not sure
Yes, but they are very very rare and worth a lot of money.
it is not rare enough to have any value [will have value in about 3 years]

A "silver penny" is a steel penny. They were minted in 1943, during World War II, because of the copper shortage. To a collector, it may be worth something, yes, but certainly no amount you could retire on.

Who knows. If all of a sudden, for some bizarre reason, every coin collector in the world wanted a 1943 Australian Penny, it could be worth $1,000 or more tomorrow.
1943 cents were made of zinc-coated steel. If you melt it, you'd get less than a penny's worth of metal, even if you could sell such a small quantity.
A 1943 steel penny is worth just that 1cent.
