Value and Market Demand
Even in lesser conditions, these pennies can sell for around $60,000. Collectors highly value these 1943 copper cents, which sell for much more than other errors from the same era due to their unique history.
Beware of Counterfeits
The rise in value has led to many counterfeit copies. Fraudsters may file down the number 8 on a 1948 penny or coat a steel penny with copper to mimic the original. To check for authenticity, use a magnet: a genuine copper penny won’t stick, while a steel penny with copper plating will.
