In 1943 the US switched the material used for pennies to steel, hence the color change. They are very common, and in that condition not worth more than 2-3 cents.

Google would have been faster than creating an account and uploading images. Just saying.
That is the zinc plating that is covering a steel core. It was a one year production.
Not much value in that condition.
Thank you for your reply, and what about a 1944 one cent coin.
If you have a white 1944 cent, then you have a winner, winner, chicken dinner!

vegas, baby!
Unless it’s plated.
Welcome, Lincoln cent went back to original composition in 1944. Always liked the one-time 1943 "steel cents", especially in uncirculated condition.
