The same thing all other pennies in recent years, zinc. They are then coated with copper. If you have a 1975 penny that is silver, it is a penny that someone has disolved the copper coating leaving only the zinc. The composition of the cent was not changed until mid-1982. Lincoln cents made before that date, except for the famous steel wartime coins, were made of a solid alloy of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. If you have a cent dated before 1982 (except for 1943) that appears to be silver it's 99.999% sure you have a coin that was plated for use in jewelry or something similar. That makes it an altered coin with no additional value.
