Hammered coins have different values depending on the quality of the blank used to prepare them, the amount of wear on the coin, and the quality of the strike. In general, an average Edward I silver penny is worth about $20-30, pennies with no damage to the blank, pennies with exceptional strikes, and pennies without much wear are worth more while cut coins, coins with flaws on the blank, worn coins and coins with a weak strike are generally worth less. Edward I pennies are some of the more common hammered English silver coins and have moderate collector demand. New specimens are being dug daily and are generally common metal detector finds.
US pennies have never been made of silver. If they were they would be worth more than $1. In 1943 they were made out of steel coated zinc. These are often mistaken for silver, lead, and steel but are neither.
There is no such coin. Cents were never struck in silver. Among other reasons, that amount of silver would be worth at least $1.25. Even the government wouldn't be foolish enough to sell a buck's worth of silver for 1¢. Your coin has been plated with silver or a silver-colored metal for use in jewelry or as a decoration. That makes it an altered coin worth only face value.

The US never made any silver 1 cent coins.
The value of the penny depends on the condition that it is in. However, this penny can be worth 1 dollar up to 7 dollars.
The US never made silver pennies. You coin is only silver plated. It is worth 1 or 2 cents.
if the size of your penny is the same size as a copper penny and your penny is SOLID silver then a silver penny would be about 2.1 grams and today(june 25 2012) silver price is about $28.79 an ounce and there are 31.1 grams in 1 ounce making you penny worth about $1.90 but since the (kind of ) rarity it would be about $3 to somebody on ebay(+shipping) hope i helped :)
1 cent. It's plated. Think about it for a few seconds - pennies are larger than dimes, so a silver penny would be worth more than 10 cents!
The face value of any coin is what is inscribed on the face of it. The face value of a 1 Penny coin is 1 Penny.
The King Edward VII penny was circulated from 1902 to 1910 in Canada. The coin was widely used, so the value of each coin is only between 1 dollar and 10 dollars, depending on condition.
Assuming you have a British silver threepence intended for circulation, it is 50% silver and worth about $1 in scrap silver or so if circulated or could be worth about $5-10 if uncirculated.
No silver 1 cent coins have ever been struck by the US Mint. It may have been plated with chrome or even silver but it has no numismatic value at all. It's 1 cent unless you find someone that wants it.
A common penny has a value of 1 penny only
The 1971 British 1 New Penny was made from bronze and features Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a crowned portcullis on the reverse. Unless it is in mint condition, it is worth 1 Penny. If you have a "silver" 1 Penny that matches the description above, you have a 1 New Penny coin valued at 1 Penny. If you have a "silver" 1 Penny that does not match the description above, you very possibly have a sterling silver Maundy 1 Penny coin valued at up to £25 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
