War penny error missing #4

I have three of these perfect shape everything else is clean cut but the 4 in 1943 is missing. Anyone know the value?

I can see the 4 on both coins.
The coins look to be replated, so I'll say they are worth a penny each.

Take pics straight on, not from an angle, you'll get better results.

 

The second penny is to show how much of a difference these are and they are uncerculated just pulled them out of a roll of all steel pennies

 

I can still see the '4' on both. The one on the left appears to have been polished a tad.

 

Filled dies were prevalent on war steel,
it looks plated, as the "other white meat"
said.

 

A magnet picks them up and it's a strong pull

 

That's because they are made of steel that's plated with zinc.

Are you saying you bought a supposed uncirculated roll of 1943 cents?

 

No I got them from a bank I noticed they were diffrent so I bought the role took them home and sorted threw to see what they are

 

First welcome to the neighborhood, Ashley.

If you've become interested in coin collecting, I suggest that you start your education by buying "A Guide Book of United States Coins" (also called the Red Book). It contains a wealth of information about every coin that has ever been used or produced in the US since colonial times. The only thing about the book that you should take "with a grain of salt" are the price guides which tend to be a bit exaggerated.

Very nice, and they look great. I like steel pennies (we called them lead pennies when I was a kid).

 

Thank you chris I have few random rare coins I just have been so ingrossed with how many I found and this is the first I have ever seen a steel penny I apretiate the useful info

 

It's crazy how I never seen a steel penny growing up

 

Oh yeah? How tall do steel pennies usually get at maturity?
