Timely post Richard, I collect U.S. cent Varieties and errors and was planning on a collection of Australian penny varities and errors. I don't know much about them, but I'm searching for more info on them.
Thanks again,

Ian Hartshorn the author of the site posted by Richard has just released an excellent affordable booklet titled "Australian Pocket Change - Varieties and Errors - Common,Scarce and Rare".
A "MUST HAVE" booklet for anyone interested in the collection of Aussie decimal errors and varieties.

If you are "sure" that these two coins are not copper, you need to send them to Anacs to be authenticated and graded. http://www.anacs.com/index.htmlIt does happen, however, most cents that do not appear to be copper, have been altered by people, so keep that in mind.

Well the 1980 I am for sure and the 1983 looks like it. But anyways sending it to the ANACS, costs money, right? Anyways I was just wandering if anyone could tell me anything about them?

Yes it costs money to have Anacs authenticate and grade the coin. However, without that authentication, you will have NO real chance of selling your coin(s) as true errors. Now there are known examples of Lincoln Cents without the copper, see example:  Authentication is 100% needed though, so if you truly believe that you have such an error, do not waste time. Get them shipped to Anacs. Just to give you a rough idea: In Mint State, these coins bring "retail" prices of $200 and up. The coin in the photo in MS-63 retails at $395.00 Now you must remember that "grade" will still have a great deal of influence on price. Good Luck on your submission.

Depends on the tier used, but Anacs is relatively cheap, plus they offer their service without being a member of a club. Both PCGS and NGC charge around 100 dollars to be a part of their club. NGC does allow ANA members to submit coins. However, Anacs is by far the best when it comes to varieties. Your coin will be considered an error if authentic, and Anacs is the cheapest overall. Go to their site http://www.anacs.com/index.html and pick the pricing tier best suited.
