I have a 1943 penny that sticks to a magnet. I'm wondering if this penny has any special value due to its magnetic property.

To determine if you possess the copper 1943 Wheat Penny, a straightforward test can be conducted.

You will need to acquire a magnet for this purpose. Magnets are commonly found in households and are easy to obtain.

Place the magnet close to the coin. Observe carefully to see if there is any interaction between the magnet and the coin.

If the coin sticks to the magnet, it indicates that the coin is made of steel rather than copper. This is an important distinction to make.

Coins made of steel during this period, such as the 1943 Wheat Penny, are not rare and therefore do not hold significant value. In fact, they are typically worth only about 10 cents.
