The U.S. never minted a silver penny. It would have more than a dime's worth of silver in it. 1983 and later cents are all made of copper-coated steel so you may have a cent where the copper coating was removed with acid (worth only a penny) or was never plated in the first place (worth a significant amount). It would need to be inspected by a dealer who handles error coins.
Beginning in 1982 the composition of the US cent was changed to a coin with a core of 99.2% zinc and 0.8% copper with a plating of pure copper.
Those are 95 percent copper. A US penny weighs 3.11 grams. Of that, 2.9545 grams is copper.

Very, very little. All pennies made since 1982 (some 1982 coins are made out of a 95% copper bronze alloy, others are copper-plated zinc) are copper plated zinc and only contain a very small amount of copper. Since this isn't an alloy and it wears off during use, it really isn't possible to calculate just how much copper is in there, but suffice to say it isn't much at all.
About 2 cents.
