It is true that the 1943 steel penny is not worth much? Found one and thought I just ask around.

States:
"Nowadays, while these coins are an interesting change from the brown cents that we commonly see, none of the 1943 Steel Cents are considered rare. Values for all three varieties in average circulated condition is not more than 10-20 cents, at most. In uncirculated conditions, such as might be found on a coin fresh out of a bank roll, the coins have a value of 10 to 20 dollars. Near perfect specimens (MS-66 and up) will have a value from 30 to 70 dollars."

Hope that helps ya.

Dont overlook the 1943 DD which carries a pretty substantial premium in higher grades !!!

I think I would diagree with bobby's quote on the price--I have bought BU rolls for $20 or less and think that some of them might come back MS66+...
Yes--a steel cent is worth some but not much over face...3-4 cents.
