you mean a 1943?

cause I found this info;

1944 steel penny-- Only a couple of these have been authenticated, and are worth over $100,000. However there are many counterfeits out there -- copper pennies that have been zinc plated. Do the magnet test -- a real 1944 steel cent will stick to a magnet. If it passes this test, and has been examined for an altered date (using a strong magnifier), then you would need to get it certified (preferably by PCGS or NGC).

If you want to start collecting minor DDR Lincoln's I have several for you. These are with extra columns either on the 6th or 7th column.

It appears you're looking to pick up the rarest cents for pennies (pun intended). (See your other post https://goccf.com/t/96438). These coins have been discussed by collectors for decades and if you think someone will unwittingly send you one as a filler, you are sadly mistaken.

Nice try, though.
