I would estimate that a 1943 D copper cent would bring somewhere between $40,000 and $100,000, depending on its condition and the abilities of the selling auction house.

Owing to a shortage of copper during WWII (especially the year of 1943), the Treasury Department resorted to the use of zinc-coated steel for cents. No bronze (copper) cents were INTENDED to be minted in 1943, but at least 12 and as many as 40 copper planchets were struck with the 1943 dies.
