I'm not really all that up on US coins, but I believe the silver coloured Cents are all pretty common.

Here's a link to a US coin pricing guide:

Mell,the steel U.S. 1c. coins are very common.There are some bronze 1943 1c. coins,but these are extremely rare,& are also mint errors.After the coinage on the 1943 1c. ended,the U.S. Mint had some black steel 1c. planchets left over.In the end,these were actually used to strike the Belgian 1944 2 Francs coins,which,again,are also extremely common.

I have one of the wee critters magneted to my ice box. Usually when these are found now they are pretty rusty, the light zinc plating wore off easily exposing the corrosive steel. I have actually had a pile of these once and spent all the rusted out ones.
