Lincoln cents have never been struck in silver. They're made of copper-plated zinc. That leads to at least 3 possibilities:
> Your cent was struck on a dime blank. If it's the same size as a dime, you have what is called an "off metal error". These are valuable but you would need a professional appraisal.
> Your cent was struck on a normal zinc blank, but was never plated. If there is no trace of copper showing, it might retail for as much as $100.
> Someone dipped the coin in acid to remove the copper plating. In that case it's a damaged coin worth 1¢
In any case it would need to be authenticated by someone who specializes in error coins to rule out tampering or damage.
No such thing as a 94 silver penny.
U.S. pennies have never contained silver. Your penny is probably silver plated for jewelry or other decorations.
There is no US silver penny dated 2001. Instead, what has happened is someone has stripped off the copper layer of the coin and left the zinc layer which looks silver-ish.
If it is a penny struck on a dime planchette it could be quite valuable. If it is just silver plated...it is still worth a penny.
If it's dated 1985, that would be zinc, not silver. It's worth one cent. No US pennies contain silver.
2000 dated penny's are just penny's

Yes.
From least to greatest: Penny Nickel Dime Quarter Half Dollar Gold and Silver Dollar
The U.S. never made a silver penny. It would have been worth more than a dime! If its date is anything other than 1943, it's either a fake or it's been silver plated. If it's dated 1943 it's made of zinc-coated steel.
No, there is no silver in a 1817 US penny.
