probably a novelty...lincolns were never made in silver In the 60's kids would dip pennies in Mercury. The mercury would bond tightly with the copper, resulting in a cent that looked silver or nickel in color. This was before the dangers of mercury poisoning were known.

There were no silver cents minted, ever. (The did mint a silver 3 cent pieces from 1851 to 1873.

Your silver 1964 penny may be silver plated, or a mint error.

A 1964 bronze penny should weigh 3.11 grams. If that's what your coin weighs it's only worth a cent.

A Mint error, a penny struck on a planchet intended for a silver dime could be worth a $1,000.00
