All pennies since 1983 are made almost entirely of zinc, covered with a thin coating of copper. Therefore, what you have is either a zinc penny that did not get its copper coating (worth abuot a dollar), or a normal penny that has been silver plated (no added value). You should be able to determine this by weight. A normal penny will weigh 2.5 grams. So if yours weighs less, then it's missing its copper coating. If it weighs more, then it's been silver plated.

U.S. pennies were never made of silver.
The US has never made silver pennies. If they did they would be worth more than a dime! Your penny is probably silver plated and is used for jewelry or other decorations. It has no collector value and is no longer spendable.
The U.S. made no dollar coins in 1990.

There is actually no such thing as a 1973 'silver' penny. However, there are some Lincoln pennies from 1973-74 that have a shiny, silver-like look. These pennies are worth about $1.25.
