A simple answer is: From 1793 to 1982. From 1983 to date the coins are zinc.
No 1972-S small date varieties are known.
You can tell if a penny is made out of zinc or copper by the date on the penny. If the date is before 1982 then the penny is 95% copper. Pennies dated 1983 or later are 97.5% zinc with a thin copper coating.
It is worth face value unless it has a S under the date.
