@penn, first welcome to CCF. Second, for sure the common date ones aren't worth much over face value, but there are several date/mintmark keys and semi-keys which could be worth considerably more. For example, for 1909, do you have any cents with a "S" mintmark? If so, please post pictures of this coin in a separate thread.

 I agree with what the others have already said, and will just add that 1943 steel cents in average condition are very common and also aren't worth much. Very interesting to own, however!

if your set is complete with all mint marks in that date range, the value is at least in the hundreds of dollars

The key dates you want to look for are 1909-S, 1909-S VDB (VDB is on the back or reverse of the coin), 1914-D or 1931-S. Those are the most valuable. There's others as well that might be worth a few bucks, mainly early teens and early 20's with S and D mint marks. Date and mint mark is key; many of the rest are only worth a few cents each unless they are in like new condition.
Welcome!

Common dates circulated condition 2 cents.

The copper ones are common and also cleaned so worth 2 cents. The steel ones maybe 5 cents. As an example. If you have this set (none are cleaned or damaged) its worth about $200  If you add the missing coins, your set is now worth $2500  You add the 3 missing coins and each coin looks like this (MS63+), you are talking $10,000+  Please note not all my cents look like those
