1943 silver wheat penny, no P or D on it? Any info is appreciated.

Not new looking. I know it's not really "silver". Figure it's best way to describe it. Pleas excuse my laymens terms

If there's no mint mark on the reverse above Monticello, and it's silver colored, it's probably plated.

 

It's a cent not a nickel.

If there's no mint mark, it's a Philly. 1943 cents were zinc plated steel. They are supposed to look that way.

 

I think the OP is describing a steelie, not a war nickel.

 

I think he is talking about a wheat penny


To OP, if it doesn't have a P then it is from Philidelpha. P's were't used to later even now they are not on pennies but just higher denomination the penny. And it is definately not silver, but is steel. Hope this helped

 

Okay, I shouldn't have had that second bourbon after dinner :thumb:

 

Are there a lot of no mint 1943 steel wheat pennies?
Anyone know the value of it? If its something I should hold onto or get appraised?
Is there anything else I should be aware of with this penny?
I'll have MANY more questions regarding various coins.
Thank you all for your info & comments.

 

It looks like 684,628,670 philly steel cents were minted, we will need pictures to tell value, unless its very high grade, expect a dollar or so for it.
