1957-D Silver Lincoln?

Hi, this is my first post here so I apologize if anything is wrong. I've been out of coin collection for quite a few years as I don't really have the money for it like I used to. I was going through my old collection to possibly sell and noticed a 1957-D Lincoln Penny that was silver and shiny in color. I did some research and found that either the coin was chrome or silver-plated "post-production" and worthless or that it could have been incorrectly struck on a nickel or silver planchet and be worth about $50? I was wondering the validity of this and how I could possibly check what's up with this coin? I believe it's too shiny to be nickel. Although it's in very good condition it does show some normal wear. I'm sorry that I can't include a picture but I'm not sure how much that would help. I don't have access to a camera right now but I could borrow one in a couple days if needed.

Thanks for the help!

Edit: To clarify, I already assume weighing the coin is the best way to check if it's an error, but I'm not sure what weight I'm looking for and how accurate the scales should be.
