What is a 1997 US quarter worth that is copper on the face side?

You have what's called a lamination error. It occurred when one side of the coin's outer cupronickel cladding fell off due to a poor bond with the inner core of pure copper. Lamination errors can occur before or after the coin is struck, whenever the bond fails.
Current retail for this error on a pre-State Quarter design is about $10.

Are pennies made out of zinc?
Because you asked this in the US currency section, I guess you are really talking about the one cent piece. This is sometimes called a penny because it is roughly the same size, shape, and colour as a one new penny. This used to be made of pure copper, but is now made of copper-plated zinc, so if you file away the coating, you will see the zinc inside.
How do you know if a 1972 silver dollar is really silver?
It's easy to tell 1972 Ike dollars apart. If it has no mint mark or a D above the date, it's made of copper-nickel and is worth face value to maybe $1.25 in circulated condition. If it has an S mint mark it's made of 40% clad silver and might be worth about $7, mostly for its silver content. Some other years saw more varieties, but even so they're still simple to tell apart. The silver issues are lighter in color than the copper-nickel ones. Also the edge on a copper-nickel dollar will plainly show its copper color, while the edge on a silver-clad coin will be somewhat grayish.
