If a penny is silver in color, it is probably made out of steel coated zinc. They were issued during the year 1943 in WWII due to the shortage of copper. If the dealer says it's metal composition is silver, it's probably fake and only worth it's silver content. But if it's a steel coated zinc penny, it will be worth about $0.50 in Good condition, about $1.50 in Fine condition, about $25 in MS-55, and $50 in MS-65 condition. But don't be so sure about all the amounts, as I'm a novice collector.
