Trying to find out what I have

Hello I have a 1957 silver penny that is the size of a dime, I’m trying to see of it’s a error coin or what. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a scale that measures grams?

So far, looks legit for a cent struck on a silver dime planchet.

 

No I do not, if I get one what weight should it be. And what else should I look for. Are they worth anything?

 

Around $600. But yours looks like it may have been improperly cleaned. If that's the case, around. $300.

It should weigh what a 90% silver dime weighs, which is very easy to look up.

 

Also, post better photos if you can, and crop them as well as center them

 

And a photo of the reverse, please.

Here are some better pics

 

Is the edge reeded?

 

It is looking good for a cent struck on a dime planchet.

The edge wouldn't be reeded if it was struck on a dime PLANCHET, it would be reeded if struck on a struck dime, but it shows no evidence of being on a struck dime.
