Copper-plated zinc cents were first made in mid-1982 and the Mint was still working out some of the production kinks in 1983, so a certain number of errors were to be expected. However a fully-unplated zinc cent is pretty uncommon and can sell for as much as $100.

It would need to be inspected by a dealer who handles error coins.

There are no 1984 pennies made from steel -- they were made from a zinc core with a thin outer copper layer.

If your penny was made of steel, it would stick to a magnet -- try it!
