Not a buffalo. 1943 cents have a picture of Lincoln on the front and a pair of wheat ears (stalks) on the back.
Not silver, either.
Please read the related question linked below for more information.
US pennies have never been made of silver. If they were they would be worth more than $1. In 1943 they were made out of steel coated zinc. These are often mistaken for silver, lead, and steel but are neither.
The silver nickels are worth about $1.50 in scrap silver if circulated or up to about $3-4 if in excellent condition. The steel penny is worth about 2-3 cents if circulated and up to a buck or two if in brilliant uncirculated.
They aren't silver, they are steel. They are worth anywhere from 3 to 10 cents in average condition.
There's no such thing as a silver US penny, only silver-colored ones. If it's silver in color it's most likely plated. However if it feels slippery do not touch it any more and throw it out because someone put mercury on it to change its color. You could get mercury poisoning if handled too frequently. If it's a 1943 cent, and silver in color, it's a common steel wartime cent worth about a quarter in average condition.
There is no such coin. U.S. cents were never struck in silver. All 1948 cents were struck in a bronze alloy like most other cents up till 1982.Are you sure you don't have a 1943 cent? These were struck in steel as a way to save copper for the war effort. In circulated condition it might be worth 25 to 50 cents depending on the amount of wear.Another user answer~In fact that is incorrect I also have a 1948 silver penny and it is not steel or sync Not sure the value but they do exist

They were steel, not silver.

Nobody. The US never made silver pennies. In 1943 the US made steel pennies. These are often mistaken for silver. In 1943 Abraham Lincoln was on the US penny.
A 1943 steel penny with no mintmark can be worth $.35 - $1.50
1943 pennies are not silver. They are zinc coated steel. Copper was saved for war effort.
