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.
