Question
Does anyone know what a 1944  ( White)  penny is worse.  I thought they only
made the white penny in 1943, but I came across one that said 1944.  Does anyone
know how many of these were made.  
I do not have the penny in my possession I can
purchase the penny it is in really good shape if you could give me some  
Estimate what you think it would be worth I would appreciate it,I know the  
penny is real because you can pick it up with a magnet Like the 1943. I am awaiting your answer Dave.

Answer
Hi Dave,
no estimates on the mintage. Nor can I say what it may be worth.  However, if it is genuine, you would not get hurt if you paid $1,000 for it.  You just have to make sure it is real.
