There's no such thing as a silver US penny, only silver-colored ones.

If it's silver in color it's most likely plated. However if it feels slippery do not touch it any more and throw it out because someone put Mercury on it to change its color. You could get mercury poisoning if handled too frequently.

If it's a 1943 cent, and silver in color, it's a common steel wartime cent worth about a quarter in average condition.
