One at the left in the ring holder looks re-zinced. The rest are of nominal value, though a couple look nice on this side with relatively light wear. It is okay for zinc to be a bit darkened up; that's its natural look, when clean and even. The greater issue with steel pennies is when the zinc is worn through, exposing the steel inside which tends to rust.

I appreciate that I’m just a collector because I like coins Going to pull them all out again and check for these varieties everybody’s talking about

Liking coins is what brought us all here. If you want to do a lot of variety checking, your bible is both volumes of the Cherrypicker's Guide. If you don't have those, you will want them.
