The U.S. never made a silver penny. It would have been worth more than a dime!
If its date is anything other than 1943, it's either a fake or it's been silver plated. If it's dated 1943 it's made of zinc-coated steel.
US pennies have never been made of silver.
The U.S. never minted a silver penny. It would have more than a dime's worth of silver in it. Your coin has been plated.
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.
Probably not much more than a penny, because it's most likely just electroplated. These sorts of coins are novelties. Wrong!! That kinda penny is probally worth 1 or two bucks?
if the size of your penny is the same size as a copper penny and your penny is SOLID silver then a silver penny would be about 2.1 grams and today(june 25 2012) silver price is about $28.79 an ounce and there are 31.1 grams in 1 ounce making you penny worth about $1.90 but since the (kind of ) rarity it would be about $3 to somebody on ebay(+shipping) hope i helped :)

The U.S. has never made one cent (penny's) coins from silver. The coin has likely been silver plated. It is not rare or special, it's just a penny.

All 1967 general circulation British Pennies were made from bronze. If you have a silver Penny, it will be because somebody has plated it. Alternatively, the British Maundy Penny is a very much smaller coin than the traditional Penny and is made from sterling silver.
Sorryno such thing as asilver penny

No US one cent coin was EVER struck in silver. It may have been plated or look like silver, but it's not silver. It's just a penny.
No, there is no silver in a 1817 US penny.
