The US has never made silver pennies. If they did they would be worth more than a dime! Your penny is probably silver plated and is used for jewelry or other decorations. It has no collector value and is no longer spendable.
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 :)
A silver penny in mint condition is typically worth around $5-$20 to collectors, depending on the specific type and rarity.

It would need to be inspected by a dealer who handles error coins.
