About 1.5¢ for the original bronze coin and maybe another half a cent for the plating. Gold plating is extremely thin, usually measured in hundredths of a millimeter, and it would cost more to remove it than you could get by selling it.

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!
