The Lincoln cents dated 1943 were struck on zinc coated steel planchet not copper. It may look like copper and could be plated.Test it with a magnet to see if it sticks to it. If it does not react to a magnet look at the 3 in the date. Many 1948 cents have been altered so the 8 looks like a 3. So it's Best to have a dealer or collector look at the coin.

HIGHER!!! It is worth $150,000!!!!CorrectionThe above response refers to an AMERICAN copper penny dated 1943. All Canadian cents dated 1943 were made of copper, while 2010 cents are copper-plated steel. 1943 Canadian cents are worth around 50 cents to a dollar depending on condition, so they're certainly worth more than 2010 cents but not a huge amount.

A few copper blanks left over from 1942 were accidentally mixed in and were struck with the 1943 date. These coins are very rare and can sell for the amount quoted above.
