There is a SLIGHT chance that it is real. Since pennies are now zinc with a copper coating, sometimes they get pressed without the coating. So they look silver. If this is yours, and it is in GREAT condition, it could be worth $100-$150. There is also another change that it was actually printed on a blank meant for a dime. In this case it would be worth $300-$500

From 1909 through1958 with the exception of the 1943 zinc coated steel cent, all cents are considered bronze, that is .950 copper and .50 tin and zinc, they weigh 3.11 grams. From 1959 through part of 1982 the cents are considered copper, but are listed as .950 copper and .50 tin and zinc, they too weigh 3.11 grams. The tin was reduced so I guess that is why they are listed as copper. From the last part of 1982 to date the cents core is .992 zinc and .008 copper with a plating of pure copper, thus the coin ends up as being .975 zinc and .025 copper. It however weighs only 2.5 grams. Hope this helps.
