Those minted in Philadelphia did not carry a mintmark. In this condition pretty much just worth face vlaue.

It is getting increasingly harder to find unplated BU or MS '43 steel cents anymore. |

@Lenny
The auction record 1943 cent that sold for $218,500 was one of the legendary 'Bronze 1943 Cents', it's an error coin. It is one of the very few 1943 cents that were struck on a 95% copper planchet by accident. It was graded AU-58. The price guide for the 1943 cent struck on the correct zinc plated steel planchet graded AU-58 says it would be worth less than a dollar.

Your coin is worth a penny unless you get a teenage clerk that swears it's fake, then it's worth nothing
Some random undocumented screenshot of a list with random prices is pointless.

lenny...
If you feel you have legit rarities, consider submitting them to a reputable third party grading/attribution service. If you do, please let us know the outcome. Thanks.

I don't know, look it up on PCGS, 43 steel 218k, 43 bronze 800k, 44 steel 400k.(sold at auction prices).just trying to figure it out..I know you guys know the truth so I ask. I am looking through thousands left behind coins hoping to find that one rare valuable variety or error and I have no idea and its hard to get a solid truthful from most sales records and charts.  Also never figured people would resurface coins and put them in holder either..never mind fake coins...3 months in and learning quick..thnx every single comment..critic or not..I almost have the coin photography thing under control..I had to get an old PC going..forum taught me how. |

That's an MS68+, 99.9% weren't that high after just landing in the hopper seconds after being struck.
Not sure why you are bringing up the bronze/copper ones in this conversation? Has nothing to do with your coins.
