What is the value of a silver 1944 penny?

The 1944 penny or one cent coin was made of zinc-coated steel, also known as "steel cents." It was introduced during World War II due to the need to conserve copper for war efforts. The 1944 penny does not have silver content and is not particularly rare or valuable. Its value is typically equal to its face value of one cent, similar to other pennies made of copper-plated zinc from that period.
