It's not a silver penny. It's a steel penny. In 1943, silver was scarce because of World War II. So was copper, the metal usually used to make pennies. So in 1943, the US Mint chose steel as a cheap, one-time substitute. And yes, it has a D. My grandfather (who was alive when all this happened) told me when he gave me one.
