Roger, given the heavy wear your 1943-S Lincoln cent is showing, you could shoot for getting one dollar for it.

Our wheat penny info pages can help guide you concerning other pennies you may have.

Hello, Roger --

One more point concerning the "valuable" 1943 cents; steel pennies are common and, as we earlier said, are generally worth less than one dollar in circulated grades. The valuable 1943 pennies I believe you're referencing are bronze 1943 cents. Less than 40 were made, and they are worth around $75,000 and up.

Good luck,
Josh
