The US mint did not produce a 1968 Silver Penny... maybe someone had it silver plated !

The U.S. mint has never struck a silver cent, there was a silver center large cent pattern but that was it. The only way a silver cent could show up is a dime planchet got in the cent collar by mistake. It would have been silver on and before 1964 or clad copper/nickel after that date. Of course the cent would be dime size. If it is normal size then some one did something too it after it left the mint and is actual damage. This kind of thing happens often, when some people have nothing better to do.

The U.S. made no silver coins in 1968 except a 40% silver 1/2 dollar .You Cent is probably plated with another metal.

i deal with alot of older coins myself like wheat pennies which vary from 1909-1958 alot of them are worth a ton of cash several thousand dollars due to errors.
