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.
5-10 cents.
its value a 1943s is 0.40 1943p is 0.30 1943d is 0.35
Average value is 5 to 25 cents.
25 to 50 cents in average condition
Perhaps a nickel if well-worn, up to 50 cents in extremely fine condition.

It has a silver color because it is made out of steel. Copper was needed for the war and was in short supply, so steel pennies were made.
The highest price ever paid for a 1 cent coin is 1.7 Million dollars in June of 2010 for the only known example of a copper 1943-D Lincoln cent.
The "D" is the mint mark, it stands for the Denver Mint
Two cents for the copper.
It's worth 2 cents for the copper content.
A 1914 penny with no mint mark is worth about $1.50.
The value for a 1951 copper cent is worth about $0.10 to $4 depending on the condtition.
