I have a 1903 penny, what is it's worth? You can clearly see the date and some letters of "Liberty" are clear in the headdress.
Your coin is almost certainly plated for use in jewelry or something similar, which means it's an altered coin with no value to collectors. The US has never made silver cents. For one thing, cents are larger than dimes so a silver penny would have been worth more around 15 cents at the time!
It is called a "mini coin". They are manufactured as a novelty and have no numismatic {fancy word for coin collecting} value.
Wheat cents were struck from 1909 to 1958. If your coin is dated 1903 it's an Indian head cent.
If your coin is smaller than a normal US cent (19 mm) it's not real. Several companies make miniature replicas. They have no value to coin collectors.
To clear things up, wheat cents were made from 1909 to 1958. Indian head cents were made from 1859 to 1909. Please see the Related Question for more information.
All error coins need to be seen. So many different types of striking errors exist, unseen a value can't be given. Take it to a coin dealer for an idea of value.
