It depends on the condition of the penny, but a 1943 copper or bronze penny is very valuable. There was a man who bid $82,000 (see: http://www.naplesnews.com/today/business/coin21.htm)

The reason it is so valuable is because that year they used zinc and nickel or steel to make pennies instead of copper. They used the copper for war matters.

Hope that helps, check out EBay too.
