It's zinc coated steel. Not silver. They are common and are worth 8 cents-around 2 dollars in circulated condition. The coin is not silver. It is minted from steel. Copper was in high demand during the war and as a result, the mint suspended production of copper pennies at that time. They are fairly common. Values are highest for those in uncirculated condition
