No. A 1958 US cent is 95% Copper and 5% Zinc. Any "silver" cents you have are almost certainly plated. Steel cents were only made in 1943, when copper was needed for the war effort, and no 1¢ coins were ever struck in silver. Among other reasons, a silver cent would have been 1/10 the size of a dime, or about as big as a pencil eraser!
