There were about one billion coins produced this year. The mint went back to brass coins and used spent shells from the navy and army to produce Lincoln cents in 1944. So the coins are also called "shellcase bronze".
A 1944 Lincoln cent in AG3 to MS67 Red is equal .04 cents to about $115.00. If you have a D/S Mintmark the value runs from $35.00 to Thousands.
