1943 Wheat Penny. Is It Silver And What's The Worth?

First off, nice find! And

Second, 1943 cents are made of zinc coated steel, not silver, unlike wartime nickels.

Usually in this grade (Fine-ish) they go for about $0.20 or less

It is a 1943 penny made out of steel and it was minted at the Philidelphia Mint. I know that because it does not have a mint mark on it. Some pennies that year were minted in Denver and they have a D mint mark below the date and some were minted in San Francisco and have an S mint mark under the date. The Philadelphia minted 1943 is the most common with the highest mintage, but none of the pennies for that date are rare unless they are made out of copper. There are a few rare copper 1943 pennies that were minted by mistake and escaped the Mint before being destroyed. Those are worth Thousands of dollars, but your coin is not worth much. Because there was such a high mintage, there are rolls and rolls of uncirculated 1943 pennies that were never used. These pennies are still new. Your penny was well used and is in what we call circulated condition. Collectors will pay a premium for old WWII 1943 pennies if you have lots of them, but a single coin will not bring you much. You would be doing well to get a nickel for it. There are more uncirculated (new) 1943 pennies in existence than penny collectors. So, there is just no demand for the coin, thus it has very little value. It is a reminder of World War II and the millions of people who died because of war, so it is worth keeping as a historical reminder of darker times.

Get a phone with a bigger screen then, because all my explanations are going to be more than two lines.

Wheat cents (particularly steel ones) are always fun to find in the wild no matter the condition.
