Its value depends the of the coin, look at amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning.

You'll also get an idea of current market value by researching eBay once you have a general idea of its condition.

They are generally called a "Wheat Penny" and you just missed a good sum of money by a year and some copper. Due to WWII, pennies minted in 1943 were not made of copper. A few were made however and are very rare. Where the penny was minted - the mint mark - and the condition of the penny also affect the value.
eBay is a quick and dirty source for this type of information.

actually a 1942 penny may be worth a little more since during ww2 they began making pennies out of steal for a couple of years.. not sure which years exactly but you should check it out before you drop into a gumball machine..

Those are called wheat penny's. It would depend on what condition that it is in. You could call a coin store. Or maybe try typing , old coins ,on your Internet and search.

it's just a wheat penny. they're fairly common.
...on a side note, typing in ALL CAPS is the equivalent of shouting.
