How much is a copper 1944 penny worth?

A 1944 copper penny is not a legitimate coin. Pennies from 1944 were made mostly of steel, with a thin coating of copper, due to copper being needed for World War II production. Pennies made entirely of copper were only produced in the years 1943 and early 1944 before copper production in the U.S. was stopped as the Second World War escalated.
