Q&A for 1943 Lincoln Wheat Pennies started by irene
From the 1943 Lincoln Wheat Pennies Info Sheet
how do you tell if it is the right 1943 penny stated in one article if the penny sticks to the magnetic it is fake and another place states that if it does not stick it is a fake which of these statements are actually the right one. Thank you

Hello, Irene --
I just replied to another similar post of your but in case you don't see that post kindly let me reply again...
The magnet test verifies rather or not a 1943 cent is made from steel or copper, not rather or not it is authentic.
If your 1943 penny DOES stick to a magnet, it is made from steel and is worth 10 to 50 cents.
If your 1943 penny does NOT stick to a magnet it may be a copper cent error that is worth $85,000 or more.
Best wishes,
