The U.S. never made pennies out of silver. For one thing, that much metal would have made the coins worth more than a dime, so the government would have lost 9 cents on each one they made!

Your coin was plated for use in jewelry or something similar. Unfortunately that makes it an altered or damaged coin with little to no collector value.
