Are 1943 steel wheats worth more than a typical non key date wheat?

Yes they are worth slightly more, maybe 10-15 cents a piece, not because they're rare,
just because they are different. Kids love them and the war story that goes along with them.
Great piece of proud American history.
The magnet reference is because there are some very valuable 1943 coppers out there that
are not magnetic, but don't get too excited, the coin is probably so rusted it won't adhere to
the magnet.

False alarm! It was just an old 1943 dime stuck in there! Oh how I'm disappointed. Still all these 1943 pennys are cool, and will13 I think, maybe.

Nice find for sure. Most of those have long since been taken out of change since they sometimes mess up vending machines but today, who uses a penny in a vending machine anyway.

Aren't the 1943 pennies steel?

Yes they are, hence the magnet test.
