Thank you for your question! If your Wheat Penny sticks to a magnet and is dated 1943, that is usually normal because most 1943 pennies were made from zinc-coated steel instead of copper. Their value depends on condition, but most circulated examples are relatively common. If your penny sticks to a magnet and has a date other than 1943, that is unusual, and we recommend having the coin examined by a reputable coin dealer or grading service to determine whether it is genuine and what it may be worth.
