Your coin DOES have plating, but it's not copper plating.
The switch to copper-coated zinc wasn't made until mid 1982. Before that cents were struck in bronze. That means you have a bronze cent that was plated with a silver-colored metal for use in jewelry or similar. Unfortunately it's an altered coin worth only a penny.
