It depends on what the date is. Remember, unlike other coins minted in Philadelphia since 1980, ALL cents minted there since pennies were first made in 1793 don't have mint marks. If you're in the western US most cents there come from the Denver mint and have a small D, but from the Mississippi eastward the majority are from Philadelphia and have no mint marks.
The one cent piece, or penny, weighs about 3 grams. Pennies made between 1944 and 1982 weigh 3.11 grams while pennies made afterwards weigh 2.8 grams.
Presuming that you are asking about US Lincoln pennies, the answer is that it depends. If the pennies are pre-1982, they are 95% copper and 5% zinc and weigh 147 to the pound. If the pennies are post-1982, they are 2.5% copper and 97.5% zinc and weigh 181 to the pound. In 1982, both types were made. In 1943, pennies were made from steel coated with zinc (so-called "silver pennies" or "steel pennies") and in 1944 (and I think 1945 as well) from old brass shell casings, so their counts would be a bit different.

Yes. In 1944 they were all wheat ear reverse pennies.
Wave-a-Stick Blues - 1944 was released on: USA: 6 June 1944
Sorry no silver pennies were ever made by the mint, but the 1943 cent was made from steel and a few 1944 cents were struck in steel by accident. If the date is 1944 see if it sticks to a magnet ,if it does take it to a coin dealer. If it doesn't stick it probably has been chrome plated.
All pennies from 1944 have the wheat ear reverse.
Steel pennies were only minted in 1943, however some examples of steel pennies being struck in error in 1944.

Most of the pennies are valued at a price ranging from $40 to $50. The price can vary depending upon the condition of the pennies.
One way to verify the authenticity of a 1944 steel penny is to check its weight and magnetism. The genuine steel pennies from 1944 should be magnetic and weigh around 2.7 grams. You can also look for the 1944 mint mark to ensure it aligns with the authentic production locations for that year. If in doubt, consider having the coin authenticated by a professional numismatist.
If your 1944 penny is made of steel, it will be attracted to a magnet because the steel composition is magnetic. You can also check the weight of the coin as steel pennies weigh less than copper pennies. Another method is to look for a silver-gray color, as steel pennies are not copper-colored like regular pennies.

The 1943 penny is most likely made of steel, which is magnetic, while the 1944 penny is typically made of copper, which is not magnetic. This difference in composition is why the 1943 penny will stick to a magnet while the 1944 penny will not.
You would need to get it appraised by a coin dealer. 1944 the US was making pennies out of steel.. and they are very rare.
