There are no silver pennies. However there are silver-colored cents. That's because cents made since mid-1982 have a zinc core that appears silver in color when the outer copper coating is removed or altered.

It may be worth something, but you'd need to have it examined in person.

If it was plated for use in jewelry, or was dipped in acid to remove the copper coat, it's an altered coin only worth a penny.

If it accidentally was not coated with copper at the Mint, it's an error coin worth up to $100.

So you see why an in-person inspection by a dealer is necessary.

50 cents. It's an ordinary copper-nickel half that's been plated.
