There's never been a silver US penny, so my guess is that you have a modern (1982 or later) cent that's missing some of its copper plating. Modern cents have a zinc core that looks silvery when first exposed.
Unfortunately it's probably not very valuable. At one time, an unplated or partly-plated cent was considered to be a significant Mint error, IF it could be authenticated. The problem is that it's possible to get essentially the same effect by dipping a penny in acid to dissolve some of the plating. Telling the difference can be difficult or impossible so mostly they're now considered to just be damaged coins with value only as a conversation piece.

The Mint has never struck pennies out of silver, because they'd be worth more than dimes. Your coin has almost certainly been plated by someone after it left the Mint. That means it's considered to be an altered coin worth only face value. You just found half of my high-school science project. Someone else has a copper dime. There is no such thing as a silver penny. 1963 would have been about the time I was taking high school chemistry. We electroplated dimes with the copper from pennies and pennies with the silver from dimes. Your coin has no numismatic value.

11centsThe joke answer is 5.5 cents (half of a cent and half of a dime) but if the dime half is actually silver and not copper-nickel would be worth about $2, IF you could separate the pieces.It's actually a novelty item made by cutting a dime and a penny in half and joining the sides of each. It's very similar to a two-headed or two-tailed magician's coin made using the same techniques.
