It would be beyond rare because there are no real silver US cents.
If your coin is dated 1943 it's a common cent minted from steel to save copper for use in ammunition.
If it's dated 1982 or later it's an ordinary copper-plated zinc cent that's lost its outer plating due to acid or a similar chemical.
Any other date, it's an ordinary cent that's been plated.
