If you have two 1943 steel pennies both of white color one sticks to a magnet and the other does not what is the difference and is there a difference in value?

[Edit]

There's no way to tell the difference without having the metal analyzed. It doesn't seem likely that someone would try to counterfeit the common 1943 steel cent -- it's only worth a few cents.

The one that sticks to the magnet is likely the real one. The other one could be a zinc plated, altered date, copper penny from ?? year. It's also possible it was struck on a foreign planchet, especially if it is slightly different in size or weight. It's impossible to give values without knowing exactly what you have.

There is no difference.
