The transition year was 1982 rather than 1983.
Up to mid-1982 cents were made of bronze - 95% copper and 5% tin and/or zinc. In the middle of the year copper prices went up so much that the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc with a 2.5% copper coating.

What were US nickels made of before 1984?
There's nothing special about the 1984 date. All US nickels except those minted during WWII have been made of an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.The only exception to this happened during WWII when nickel metal was needed for the war effort. From October 1942 to December 1945 special "war nickels" were minted. These coins are 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese, and can be identified by a somewhat darker color and a large mintmark letter over the dome of Monticello. Internet rumors to the contrary, these are the only US nickels that ever contained any silver.

In 1982, the composition of pennies was changed from almost all copper, to almost all zinc, with a thin outer layer of copper. If the coin blank does not get its outer copper layer, the zinc will remain exposed, and it will look just like one of the 1943 steel cents -- which are actually coated with zinc.
What is a 1984 penny worth?
There are no 1984 pennies made from steel -- they were made from a zinc core with a thin outer copper layer. So you have a penny that either is missing its copper layer (worth a couple dollars) or one that has been plated by somebody with zinc, silver, or some other similar colored metal (no collector value). If your penny was made of steel, it would stick to a magnet -- try it!
