Not hard at all depending on your method of trying to come across one.

 

How much r they worth?

 

Lower grade like that one are only worth a few cents. Higher grade coins of course go for more, but they are easily available.

 

War cents are a unique and interesting area of coin collecting. They are plentiful though and inexpensive.

 

Why is there idiots selling 1943 steel wheat penny in ebay for $10,000 to $30,000?

 

If I could answer that, I'd have more money than I have now.

 

Lmao

 

They are asking ridiculous money. There are also EBay ads for common state quarters at $400.00..... These people are hoping for a person that has more cash than brain cells. Worse than that.... They give a great hobby a black eye.

 

No way are they selling them for that. While they may be asking those prices, they will not get it.

 

A few months ago I went to my local coin shop. He had a small box full of nothing but 43 steel Cents. After about three handfuls I had four sets including the D and S mintmarks. The cost for each cent was seventeen cents.

 

I forgot to add that I purchased the 3 set, all mints, newly reprocessed and raw original with no rust. In all I bought 6 sets. He only charged me $3.00 total.

 

Why so sad?

 

I came across an rancid, postulant, abundance of these when I was a kid. Thank goodness for the folks that preserved them.......

 

I thought I had a rare coin..

 

Well there is always "condition rarity" in which you have a common coin in uncommon condition. This is one of my steel cents, paid less that $1 and it is not slabbed. But other than a couple of stains, one nick on the obverse rim at 8 o'clock and 1 hit on the T in cent on the reverse, pretty decent shape.

 

Keep it - it is an important part of history
