A 1970 penny that is silver in color may be a misidentified coin, as U.S. pennies struck from 1959 to 1982 are made primarily of copper, while those minted after 1982 are primarily zinc with a copper plating. If the penny appears silver, it might be due to wear, environmental factors, or a possible coating. The value of a standard 1970 penny is typically just one cent unless it is in uncirculated condition or part of a rare variety. Always consult a coin expert or appraiser for accurate valuation.
