All British general circulation Pennies are bronze. The only Penny that would be silver would be the Penny from the Maundy set and it would be substantially differerent in appearance and size from a general circulation bronze Penny. If the Maundy Penny is still in its original set of four coins, it might be fetch up to £95 GBP. If it no longer a part of the Maundy set but still in mint condition, it might be fetch up to £18 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to advise and give a more accurate valuation.

What was the silver content of an old British Penny?
Normally, zero. A basic unit of currency like the Penny, is made from a relatively cheap alloy like bronze or steel. The metal a coin is made from cannot be worth more than the value of the coin. A Penny made from silver would not last five minutes as everybody would be melting them down to recover the silver. The only British low denomination coins minted in silver are those belonging to the Maundy Sets or, the occasional Proof FDC coins which, when they are minted, are usually at 92.5% silver. Prior to 1795, the British Penny was a small silver coin of about 92.5% silver, but the silver content varied depending on the economic conditions of the time.
