What year penneys are valuable?

The 1943 copper penny is the most valuable penny ever minted. It can be worth from $100,000 to $1.7 million, depending on its condition. The 1943 penny is made of copper instead of the usual steel because the United States government needed to conserve steel for World War II. The 1943 copper penny is also rare because only about 10 to 15 million of them were ever made, with most being recalled and destroyed.
