No silver one cent coins have ever been made by the US, but it may be a silver 3 cent piece, they were made from 1851 to 1873. Look at the coin again and post new question
It depends on what counterfeit it was. If it was a contemporary counterfeit (as in, it was made in 1799 or early 1800s to try to pass it off at face value) it might be worth a bit of money. If it is a modern replica, it depends on what it is made out of. If it isn't made out of silver, it is pretty much worthless, however, if it is silver, it is worth whatever the weight of silver it contains.
US cents have never been made of silver, not even in the 1800s.
It depends greatly on the year, early silver dollar proof dollars can be worth several thousand dollars, modern silver dollar proofs of common dates might be worth $20 or so for silver scrap.

It's an urban legend. No US cents were ever made out of silver and the only ones that come close to being worth $1M are some very early 1793 coins.
In the 1800s, the French piastre, also known as the piastre de commerce, was a silver coin widely used in trade, particularly in French colonies. Its value fluctuated based on silver prices and regional economic conditions, but it was typically worth about 5 francs. However, specific values could vary significantly in different markets and over time due to inflation and changes in the monetary system.
