There is no such coin. The U.S. never struck cents in silver because they'd be worth far more than a penny!

Please check the coin's date, value, issuing country, etc. and post a new question. If it in fact appears to be "silver" it's almost certainly a copper coin that was plated for use in jewelry. In that case it's considered to be altered which reduces its value significantly. The bad news is that an undamaged 1853 cent retails for at least $15.
