No. Any cent plated with nickel was altered outside of the mint. That makes it a damaged coin worth 1 cent only.
It's likely to be chrome or nickel plated and is very common but it don't add to the value.
It's a 2004 Jefferson nickel that has been gold plated, has no collectible value and is just a fancy nickel.
All 1935 US cents were struck in bronze. Any silver-colored cents with that date are either plated or have been damaged chemically, either of which would reduce their value to 1 cent only.
US Coins the last year for a copper (actually bronze) penny is 1982. In 1982 the penny was made as a copper coin and a copper plated zinc coin. You have to weigh them to tell the difference. Bronze cents weigh 3.11 gm and zinc ones weigh 2.5 gm. The penny has remained a copper plated zinc since 1982 however there is talk of changing it again to a copper plated steel coin. In 1943 the Lincoln US cent was steel coated with zinc because the copper was needed for ammunition during the War. In 1944 it went back the copper coin. Today the cost of copper is too high to make a solid copper coin/penny. In fact the cost of stamping/minting the coins and raw materials, the penny and nickel cost more to produce than their face value.
The reason your coin is the size and color of a nickel is that it IS a nickel, not a penny. Remember Roman numerals? V = 5. Please see the Related Question for more information.

There are no British general circulation Pennies made from cupro nickel, from 1860 to 1967 they were all made from bronze. If you have a cupro nickel penny, it has been plated and is worthless as a collectible.

A 1973 silver penny was never minted or issued. There are some aroung, but they have been silver or nickel plated after they were put into circulation.
The U.S. Mint has never made a Silver Penny . If it is a 1957 Lincoln cent, it has likely been chrome plated which can look like silver. This is very common but the coin does not have any numismatic value.
No, because a plated metal is not a mixture of elements.
probably some time after it was made. the military model was not nickel plated.
assuming it was nickel plated after market, it would lose value for that reason.....
By the color, obviously. NIckel plated flutes are slightly golden and well, silver plated, they have silver color.
A Buffalo Nickel stamped on a penny is worth $800.00. A Jefferson Nickel stamped on a ZN penny is worth $70.00. A Jefferson Nickel stamped on a CU penny is worth $60.00.
That wasn't something done at the mint, rather the cent was likely plated with zinc or nickel. So it has little to no collector value. The US government has never struck a penny in silver.
