Hi,
The 1983 is "brass" plated rather then copper plated as it should be. It will be more golden in color and in some case moving toward a greenish tint. When the copper for the plating was being mixed, impurities changed the alloy to brass. They are collectible as errors and can go anywhere from a few dollars to maybe twenty dollars depending on the date involved and how common it is.
Have Fun,
Bill
