Sorry, that's not silver. Silver isn't magnetic so I'm not sure the relevance of that. The only coin that should be picked up by a magnet is a 1943 wheat cent since it's made of Zinc-coated Steel. If you find a 1943 cent that doesn't get picked up by a magnet, hold onto it! Otherwise, I'd suggest keeping that but not expecting to cash in on it.

 

You can stop assuming, I think. No cent-size planchets have been made. If it were a silver dime planchet, the strike would bulge out over the edges, with no rim, instead of being cleanly struck. If it were a foreign coin (silver planchet), there might be some possibility, but I'm not aware of any the exact same size of a penny.

 

If you have access to a scale that can measure to two decimal places in grams, the weight would probably tell the story.
