The coin is bronze, which is often referred to as copper.
Mark Feld* of Heritage Auctions*Unless otherwise noted, my posts here represent my personal opinions.
It is a normal bronze 1913 cent that's been plated with a silver-colored metal. It is wearing off and you can see the original bronze surfaces in those places.
Let's hope it's not mercury!
that may explain the egregious misspellings
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I get itchy/scratchy just looking at the photos.

With all the copper showing through, how could you even think that it was silver?
Transversely, with all the silver showing, how could you even think it was copper?
Uhhhhh……..it’s a 1913.
Id suggest at one point (the depression?) it was painted silver and palmed off as a dime. Fairly interesting from a historical viewpoint . Could be kids work. I like it
