I agree with the others, PMD. |

Looks like someone hammered on it and tried to cut it. It's only worth around Two Cents. It's made from bullet shells. |

Welcome to CC!
Sorry to tell you, but your coins have been damaged. They are not mint errors.

"How old are the other pennies?"
Some of the wheat pennies are as old as 1915. I also have some old quarters in the mix and a few half dollars and plenty of Canadian money. I think my dad enjoyed having the collection more than just having things of value. Is there a specific site that is really helpful for me to know more about my coins? Thank you to everyone who replied. Very helpful!

I suggest you buy a Red Book. It will give you an idea of rarity and approximate value. Plus you'll learn a lot from it. |

Do any of the 1915-1930 wheat pennies have any mint marks (s or d)?

I have been doing a lot of research online, but most of the sites contradict each other. I have thought of purchasing a magnifying glass so I can check for doubling and things like that. Not many of my wheaties have S or D, but a few of my 1960+ ones do. I am almost certain my 1970-S is doubled but I can't get a clear picture to upload.

You should also look for a 1931 s, 1922 d or 1922 without a d. Also, the 1955 has doubling. You should keep your eyes out for this one, because it is pretty valuable.

Not all of the 1955 pennies have doubling. Does the 1922 have a d under the date?

 As already noted you should try to find or buy a copy of what is called The Red Book by Whitman Publishing. Available at many coin stores, hobby stores, coin shows and many places on line such as Amazon or the Walmart web site. Also, with Cents you may want to spend some time on a web site called coppercoins.com |
