All 1945 cents were struck in copper.
If you have a silver-colored coin dated 1945 it has been plated and is only worth 1¢.
OTOH if your coin is dated 1943, then it is steel and is worth maybe 25-50 cents depending on how worn it is.

HOWEVER, I can basically guarantee you that it isn't a 43 copper penny, because only about 10 are known to exist. If it's silver in color, it's a steel penny. If it happens to be copper in color, have someone check it out, BUT, it's likely a fake if it's copper.
