I'd probably keep any nice attractive zinc issues in AU or better. I wouldn't bother with stained cents or ones with poor plating, bubbles, and weak strikes.
You won't find too many of the ones worth saving.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

I suggest you look into purchasing something called the Red Book by Whitman publishing. In that book you can see how many of what year coins were minted. Then too you may want to buy an Album to put them in. |

Only worth saving if in red, mint state condition. Personally, I toss anything not high grade into the junk pile. Finding them in MS-66 up in full red is more challenging than most people think. |

Chase007 I believe I have several of the 1982 coins you mentioned. The row on the Left straight down are the normal sized numbering to compare to the rows on the right.  |

All of your 1982 D's appear to be zinc. Then again, the 1982 D small date copper IS the rare one, not the "find 12 of them in a row" one.
As stated before, there are plentiful amounts of errors on almost all years of 1980's pennies, but most are hard to come by.

Dividing line is 1982, before then is copper after is zinc core. Unless you're seriously into error coins, there are really only a few to look for of high value. As stated, some folks are saving the copper, but currently it cannot legally be melted, in the future it will be to expensive to melt and separate the alloy, why I don't bother saving anymore other than mint state rolls. Right now, keep your best for a couple collections, look for those special error coins.
