What is the value of a 2003 silver penny?

It's probably only worth face value, except as a conversation piece / curiosity. All US pennies since 1983 are made almost entirely of zinc, covered with a thin coating of copper. If the coating was never applied at the mint, or someone dipped the coin in acid the silver-colored zinc core will become visible. No circulating US coins have contained any silver since 1969, and pennies were never made of silver because they would have been worth more than dimes.


How much is a 2000 white penny worth?

There's no such thing as a "white penny". Cents are made of zinc and plated with copper. You have either a cent ... - that's been plated a second time for use in jewelry or similar. Value, 1 cent. - that's been dipped in acid to remove the plating. Again, 1 cent. - that was accidentally missed during the plating phase. That's a real mint error and is worth $75 or so, but you'd need to have the coin evaluated in person by a dealer or appraiser who is familiar with error coins.
