No. A 1958 US cent is 95% Copper and 5% Zinc. Any "silver" cents you have are almost certainly plated. Steel cents were only made in 1943, when copper was needed for the war effort, and no 1¢ coins were ever struck in silver. Among other reasons, a silver cent would have been 1/10 the size of a dime, or about as big as a pencil eraser!

∙ 18y agoThere are two ways to have a 1957 silver metal wheat penny : 1) If it was struck on the wrong planchet (like the silver planchet for a dime). This would be considered an error coin and can be worth as much as $50 2) If somebody has silver plated a normal penny. This would be considered a novelty item and would have no added collector value.

Does a1943 silver penny have a D?
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.
Is there a silver 1961 D penny?
