    I suggest you study up on what you actually have. None of that stuff sounds "rare". Step one: Old does not equal rare. If you have questions about individual coins, feel free to post some clear close up pictures here and we will gladly help you out.

    Cents were struck on copper planchets until mid 1982. So that would be correct.

    in 1982 they transitioned over to the zinc core, copper plated cents.
    Everything before then were small copper rounds ...

    The 1917 cent is worth a dollar or two.

    how have you tested them for being zinc ?

    Circulation Wear can reduce weight. It's like if you go on a diet, you lose weight (hopefully).
