These belonged to my dad. I have no idea what they are, and haven't had any luck searching the internet for ID. Couldn't get my Celestron to work, so sorry for not having better pics available.

This one is same size as a penny

This one about 1.25" diameter

This "brass" penny I'd found in change longer ago than I can remember, and gave it to Dad. It's 10 grain heavier than regular Memorial. Just posting it while I was taking pics. I'm sure it it's just been dipped in something, though it's not been scratched-through the coating.

The second one is an 1855 4 Reales from Honduras. It is composed of silver, but the fineness is so low it ends up looking like your coin. The value is around $5. Good luck on getting IDs for the others!

The difference in your memorial cents, is, the first one is a copper coated zinc cent and the 1972 is a 95% copper cent. Copper is a heavier metal than zinc.
