1943 copper penny?

The other day my 11 yr old grandaughter e-mailed me and asked if I had a 1943 copper penny in my coin collection and can she have it if I did? I was about to write back that sure if I had one I would send it to her. I asked hubby if he thought we had one and he checked for it's value on e-bay,  it turns out that they are very rare because in 1943 all copper was used to make WW2 weapons and most pennies were made out of steel at that time. I wrote back this information to her and she said that there was a man that was trying to buy a copper penny for $100,000.00.  Wow, who new!!!!  I do have a 1934 wheat penny, I think it might be worth $9.00 depending on the condition.
