Which is the rarer of the two: a 1943 "copper," or a 1944 steel cent?
Just going according to NGC price guide values, the 1943 D bronze has none certified by NGC and is listed as $1,750,000. The 1943 S Bronze is stated to have half a dozen known and 5 certified by NGC with a highest listed price of $1,100,000. The 1943 (P) Bronze is stated to have 17 known and 13 certified by NGC with the highest listed price of $525,000. The 1944 steel cent is stated to be not as rare with only 4 certified by NGC and a highest listed price of $175,000.
Make of that what you will but I would have to say the 1943 D is the most rare, and the 1944 steel is the least rare.
