∙ 16y agoYou should probably take this to a professional coin dealer for an accurate valuation. The value would depend on the condition of the coin, the perceived cause of the error (e.g., is the "4" missing because of a die error or because someone went at it with sandpaper and ground it off the coin), the extent of the error, and how "interesting" the coin looks. A collector of error coins would probably pay at least a few dollars, but whether or not it would be worth markedly more depends on the abovementioned qualities.

∙ 16y agoA 1943 steel penny with a double stamped 9 and a missing 4 is likely a genuine error coin. These types of error coins can be quite rare and valuable to collectors. Depending on the condition of the coin, it could be worth hundreds to thousands of dollars. It is recommended to have the coin authenticated and appraised by a professional coin dealer or grading service.
Try to pick it up with a magnet.

No, Sprite will not make a penny rust as it does not contain the necessary elements to cause rusting, such as moisture and oxygen. Rusting occurs when iron or steel is exposed to water and oxygen over time.
A 1963 steel penny that can be picked up by a magnet is likely a flawed or altered coin. Authentic 1963 pennies were made of copper and not attracted to magnets. Such altered coins typically have no numismatic value beyond a few cents.

This is a very common error caused by a filled die and adds nothing the value of the coin.
The missing 4 is likely due to a foreign substance in the die when the coin was struck -- not very rare. Collectors for this type of thing generally will only pay a dollar or less for it.

The copper of the penny will rub off the file
There are no 1984 pennies made from steel -- they were made from a zinc core with a thin outer copper layer. So you have a penny that either is missing its copper layer (worth a couple dollars) or one that has been plated by somebody with zinc, silver, or some other similar colored metal (no collector value). If your penny was made of steel, it would stick to a magnet -- try it!
