Question:

1943 Steel Pennies....?

What are they worth today? As well as a 1943 steel nickel?

Answer:

The article I am inclosing quotes the price at 50 cents, apparently the 1943 copper penny is worth thousands of dollars.
I think they are worth about a pennie.
The 1943 zinc coated steel cent is very common in circulated grades. They were saved by a lot of people because they are a one year type coin. I can buy them for .02 to .10 each depending on grade. Uncirculated ones are worth more, a few dollars. There is no such thing as a 1943 steel nickel. The nickel that year were made of 56% copper,35% silver and 9% manganese. The 1943 nickel sells for around a $1 in very fine to $2 in extra fine. It is worth more in high grade mint state.
