The cents from 1935-1943 are quite common and sell for 5 to 10 cents in most dealers wheat cents boxes. Mint state ones have more value but not enough to retire on. You have coins that have more historic value then a monetary one. This is common in coin collecting. The cents from 1935-1942 saw the world go to war and a mad man try to take over the world with the help of the Japanese. The cents you have could have been in the pocket of a solider going to war or the pay envelope of some lady building a tank or bomber. There is so much more to coins that how much they are worth. They tell stories, the 1943 cent tells us that copper was needed for the war effort and zinc coated steel had to do, it also tells us it was not a good idea and it lasted one year. You do have the start on a cent collection so add some more to it.

Depends on condition. If you find a 1943 copper wheat penny not the white silver one, you have alot of money there

They are worth more than one cent thats for sure. how much they are worth depends on their condition and where they were minted. I would look online for a coin shop or jewelry store that buys coins. good luck
