The first one is a large date, so it's nothing special unless you save copper. The second one looks like it might be a genuine clip. I think I see just a hint of weakness at the rim directly across from the clip. This is called Blakesly effect. Would need larger pics to make a determination. The third one is PMD. |

All three should go back into your pocket and spend them when you need a few cents in change. In the state that it is in the 1970 large date has no premium over face value. The 1973 cent with a clip that is barely there doesn't have enough of a clip to keep it. The 1973-S looks like someone may have used it as a screwdriver and with that damage will never have any numismatic value. If you don't own a RedBook I would recommend you go out and buy one. It has a lot of useful information that you will find quite interesting. Ed ANA LM-3175 |

They are all copper cents. Many people save all penny's from before 1982 since they have about 2.7 cents worth of copper in them.

True a dealer may sell them for that, but the average person would find it a lot more difficult. Quote:Have the Red Book just don't give complete info Depends on what info your looking for. For example pages 413 to 417 shows a lot of types of error coins. Naturally to list every possible error coin would take a book about 5 feet thick. It attempts to give approximate coin values but is usually excessively high. And naturally can not have enough room to list every price of every grade. But for the coins shown here, would explain as much as possible. Except the one someone tried to eat.  |

Historical note: The first US postage stamps were issued in 5 and 10 cent denominations in 1847. When the rate was reduced to 3 cents a few years later, the 3 cent coin was issued to facilitate the purchase of these stamps. Also the $3.00 gold coin for a sheet of one hundred. http://www.coincommunity.com/us_gold_three_dollar/ |

Carl- I hear ya on that. Trying to get anything more than a cent for them now is darn near impossible. Unless you have pounds and pounds and pounds of them. speculation tho

Is there any reason to save all cents before 1982?
Is it better trying to sell them in a bundle like that only or just deposit in your account?

I like coins with character also, but I am not convinced that the second coin (the 1973) is a clip. It looks like there is a rim around the indented portion on the reverse. Even though the obverse does not show much of a rim, I still think this coin was smashed somehow on one end.
The third coin (1973-S) looks like someone tried to make spaghetti with it, then gave up.
