What is the value of a 1943 US steel penny? |
[Edit] |
1943 Pennies
The penny is steel, not silver. If it is uncirculated, it might bring about $1 but if it shows any wear or scratches, it will be about a dime.
Answer
In circulated condition, these are generally worth 5-10 cents apiece.
Answer
1943 pennies are actually made of steel, coated with zinc.
This was done to save the copper for the war effort.
There were over a billion of these minted, so they are not rare.
You can find them at most coin shows for 5-25 cents apiece in circulated condition.
I hope this helps,

Answer
1943 Wheat Cents are actually made from steel with an outer coating of zinc.
A nice uncirculated coin is worth about $1.00 -- if it has a D mintmark, then $1.50 -- if it has an S mintmark, then about $2.50
However, you must be aware that there are many of these coins out there that are actually circulated coins that have been re-plated with zinc. These are only worth about 25 cents.
Answer
Considering that they minted over a billion of these, they are not considered rare. In circulated condition, it's worth about 5 cents. A nice uncirculated one is worth a couple dollars.
