All 1983 and later U.S. cents are made of copper-plated zinc. Your coin may either have been plated a second time or dipped in acid, in which case it's worth 1 cent, or it could be a coin that never was coated with copper in the first place. The latter is worth a significant premium, but you'd need to take it to a dealer who specializes in error coins.
