If your 1944 penny is made of steel, it will be attracted to a magnet because the steel composition is magnetic. You can also check the weight of the coin as steel pennies weigh less than copper pennies. Another method is to look for a silver-gray color, as steel pennies are not copper-colored like regular pennies.
You can use a magnet to determine if a penny is made of steel. If the penny is attracted to the magnet, it is likely made of steel. Silver pennies were only produced in 1943 during the war when copper was needed for ammunition. If you think your penny may be silver, you can bring it to a professional for confirmation.
To calculate the weight of EN-24 steel, you need to know the volume of the steel and its density. The formula to calculate weight is Weight = Volume x Density. The density of EN-24 steel is around 7.85 grams per cubic centimeter.
A penny is approximately 2.5 grams, whereas a dollar bill weighs about 1 gram. Therefore, a penny is about 2.5 times heavier than a dollar bill.
The weight of 4140 steel varies depending on the form and dimensions of the material. On average, the density of 4140 steel is around 0.283 lb/inΒ³. Therefore, to calculate the weight of a specific piece of 4140 steel, you would need to know its dimensions and then use the density to calculate the weight.

1944s wheat Penny
You can identify if a penny is a wheat penny from 1953 by looking at the reverse (tails) side of the coin. If it has two wheat ears framing the words "ONE CENT" and the image of the Lincoln Memorial, then it is a wheat penny from 1953. Wheat pennies were minted from 1909 to 1958 and are recognizable by the wheat ears on the reverse side.
Well . . . there have never been any silver pennies minted in the US, so you must be talking about the steel pennies. As far as I know, 1943 was the only year that steel pennies, or 'steelies', were minted.
Try the magnet test, if it sticks to it, it's steel.
Please someone let me know is worth something

I don't know what a 1053 wheat cent is worth but a 1953 is worth 3 to 5 cents retail in average circulated condition.
Please someone let me know is worth something
If it's circulated values are 1 -3 cents. Uncirculated 50 cents
Put it under a magnet. If it sticks it is a steel penny. If it does not stick take to a collector or professional who can examine it further and give you a answer.
