These pennies are actually not silver, but are made of steel with zinc coating. They were produced in 1943, only, as critically needed US copper supplies were re-routed toward building arms/munitions and even warships for WW III.
Steel cents are still quite common since they minted so many of them, and retail for about 10 to 50 cents in circulated condition, and up to $5 in uncirculated condition.
