Ok, I've been doing some research. I can finally confirm that there are around 21 1943 copper pennies left. Worth approx. $10,000 each. What are your thoughts about the penny? Discuss
Your census appears a little high. However, your price is considerably on the low side. The 3 I found quickly went for $23,000, $32,000, and $46,000 and those were not the nice ones.
I think his census is probably pretty close (there have been about three or four new ones show up in the past few years) but as said his value is way low.
