I don't believe that any commonwealth nation ever struck a sixpence in copper and not in 1943. There were some sixpences struck in copper-nickel, but I'm not sure which ones were in 1943, British and Australian sixpences were struck in silver in 1943.

The 1943 penny sticks to a magnet because it is made of steel, not copper like other pennies from that era. While a 1943 copper penny is rare and valuable, it is not worth a million dollars. The most valuable 1943 pennies are those mistakenly struck in copper instead of steel and can fetch tens of thousands of dollars at auction.

you have a 1943 penny that looks like it is made out of copper, this is how you can authenticate it to tell if it is a genuine 1943 copper penny, or a fake 1943 copper penny. But first of all, be aware that the 1943 penny was issued in zinc-coated steel, because the USA needed copper for the war effort. Any genuine 1943 copper pennies are extremely rare mint errors. Learn more about your silver colored 1943 Steel Penny. The easiest way to tell if your 1943 copper cent is merely a copper-plated steel penny is to test it with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the penny, it's made of steel which has been dipped or plated in copper. Such a penny is worth about 15 cents as a novelty item. If your 1943 copper colored penny doesn't stick to a magnet, then look at the date carefully (using a magnifying glass, if possible.) If the tail of the 3 doesn't extend well below the "line" of numbers, it is probably a cut-in-half 8. A very common fraud involving the copper 1943 cent is to cut away part of the 8 in the date of a 1948 penny. If the 3 in your date looks like half of an 8, your coin is not a genuine 1943 copper penny. Any time you have a potentially valuable coin, it's always a good idea to take it to a qualified coin dealer for a professional opinion. Most dealers do not charge to have a look at your coins and give you an informal verbal appraisal. More Coins Quick Tips Coin Values Guide

The 1943 silver colored penny is a wartime issue made of steel, and coated with zinc. During World War II, copper was so badly needed for the war effort (to make shell casings) that the U.S. penny was made out of steel that year, which is why most 1943 pennies are silver colored. They are worth about 12 to 15 cents each in ciruclated condition, and as much as 50 cents or more if Uncirculated.

Take it to a dealer or collector. But first check 2 things to make sure it's not counterfeit:
> If it's attracted to a magnet, it's a normal steel cent that's been plated.
> If the bottom of the 3 points due left, it's an altered 1948 cent. The tail on a genuine 1943 cent points down and to the left, roughly southwest if you were to use map coordinates.

It's zinc coated steel. Not silver. They are common and are worth 8 cents-around 2 dollars in circulated condition. The coin is not silver. It is minted from steel. Copper was in high demand during the war and as a result, the mint suspended production of copper pennies at that time. They are fairly common. Values are highest for those in uncirculated condition
