It's not silver. Cents are struck in zinc and then copper-plated.
If your coin was dipped in acid to remove the plating it's considered to be damaged and is worth only 1¢
However, if it is a cent that accidentally did not go through the plating process at the Mint it could be worth as much as $80-$100.
You'll need to have it appraised by a dealer who specializes in error coins.
US pennies have never been made of silver.
The U.S. never minted a silver penny. It would have more than a dime's worth of silver in it. Your coin has been plated.
There is actually no such thing as a 1973 'silver' penny. However, there are some Lincoln pennies from 1973-74 that have a shiny, silver-like look. These pennies are worth about $1.25.
Probably not much more than a penny, because it's most likely just electroplated. These sorts of coins are novelties. Wrong!! That kinda penny is probally worth 1 or two bucks?
A penny minted in 2013 is worth a penny, or 1 cent.

The U.S. has never made one cent (penny's) coins from silver. The coin has likely been silver plated. It is not rare or special, it's just a penny.
