Unbelievably and impossibly rare because the first wheat cents weren't made until 1909.
On the other hand, if you have a 1902 Indian Head cent, it's a relatively common coin worth $1 to $4 in circulated condition, depending on the amount of wear.

No, the 1959 nickel is not made of silver. Nickels minted in 1959 and thereafter are composed of a copper-nickel alloy (75% copper and 25% nickel). Silver was phased out of the composition in 1946.
A 1943 penny could be a "steel penny" as they were made of steel due to copper being needed for other wartime purposes. Nickels were made of 35% silver during WWII. If a 1943 penny and nickel were mixed, it would potentially be an error as they wouldn't have been in circulation together due to their different compositions.
No, no silver in it.
Nickel silver is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc, and it was used to make 'silver' coins that were previously made in silver or 50% silver. British coins were silver up to 1921 and 50% silver until 1946, and then they were made of nickel silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver.

U.S. coins used to be made with silver, typically a blend of 90% silver with 10% copper. Then modern dimes, quarters, and half dollars are nickel-coated copper. Nickels are made with 25% nickel and 75% copper. There aren't any coins made of a silver/nickel blend.
