How much is a 1943 penny worth?

The 1943 copper penny — with approximately 20 to 40 made and only 12 known to exist today, this coin can command a price of around $150,000 to $200,000. Of course, when a penny is worth more than $85,000, you’d expect a few counterfeit examples to be floating around out there.

Was a 1944 Penny a copper penny?

The 1944 steel penny has just about as much interest swirling around it as does the 1943 copper penny — an error coin of the opposite kind. In this case, brass Lincoln cent planchets from 1942 likely remained in the coin hoppers and were fed down the line to be stamped with 1943 Lincoln cent dies!

Are 1943 copper and 1944 steel cents worth anything?

It is curious that 1943 copper and 1944 steel cents are extremely valuable. At all three U.S. Mints then in operation, almost five hundred million steel cents were minted in 1943 and more than two billion copper Lincoln cents in 1944.
