Hello I was wondering if someone could tell me how much my 1943 steel Wheat penny was worth? |

@hea, first welcome to CCF. Second, you will see that I have split your reply into its own topic. Best practice is to start a new thread for each new coin. Also, we will need to see pics of your cent in order to assess the grade before providing an estimate of value. Thx.

to the CCF As long as it hasn't been plated, value can be between about 15 cents and 40 dollars depending on grade. A clear photo of both sides will be required in order to grade. |

Heres a general guide on the 1943 Lincoln Cent value that may help for newer collectors https://www.coinstudy.com/1943-penny-value.html When in high grade (a top condition), a coin can be graded and in those higher conditions is where prices can go up to much higher ranges. See the graded pricing for 1943 Lincoln cents https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide...es/cents/99/Many people hear that there is a rare 1943 penny out there and therefore assume all 1943 pennies are valuable. Others still confuse the 1943 steel penny as the rare coin because of its unusual appearance as a silvery-colored Lincoln Cent. The steel cents are quite common—more than 1 billion were made across the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco Mints. But it's the copper 1943 cent that's rare. The steel ones so long as they are not replated are depending on other factors such as condition which is why photos may help initially to see. Edited by datadragon

1943's are not valuable. They were hoarded by the millions and still today don't have much value.

To CCF , they would have some value if slabbed by PCGS or NGC at least MS-67 or attributed major errors . Common dark grey circs are a dime a dozen .  |

Rust-free circulated 1943 steel cents bring anywhere from 12 to 18 cents on the wholesale market. Rusty circulated and reprocessed 1943 steelies will bring about 6 cents each. Not a lot of money .unless you have thousands of them.
I used to buy them by the bucket full on my coin shop visits 10/15 years ago for 2 to 3$ a roll. Would spend time sorting them out by quality and into PDS groups. Once I got a bag full of 5000 coins together I'd ship em off and happily wait for payment.
I always kept the original AU and Unc coins that inevitably ended up in the dealer buckets. I still have a pretty good stash of those that I pull out once or twice a year and make sure they aren't deteriorating with zinc rot or rust.
Nice, original BU steelies have always been one of my favorite coins!
