The US never made silver pennies. For one thing, they'd be the size of a pencil eraser because silver is much more valuable than copper.

Your coin was almost certainly an ordinary cent that was plated for use in jewelry or something similar.

Some people mistakenly believe that the zinc-plated steel cents minted in 1943 were made of silver, so that's another possible source of confusion about the coin's composition.

The US Mint only produced bronze cents in 1941, and has never minted a silver cent. Your coin is almost certainly plated. In 1941 dimes were silver and they're smaller than cents. A cent-sized coin made of silver would have been worth about 15¢, and there's no way the Mint would take a 14-cent loss on every penny they struck.
