I sorted through my scrap copper pulling out 1960-d's 1964s 1969-s's 1970-s's 1971-s's 1972s 1980s, and all 1982's

Do I keep all my 82's to look through, or do I throw back the ones with mint marks?

Is there any dates I'm missing for popular verities?

and I pulled out a couple really nice "wood grain pennies"

I can't look at these coins for verities yet as I don't have a microscope to make proper determinations.

Thanks for reading!

Accumulate copper wire instead. It's pure.
No assay costs, no refining costs.
When I was kid I used to collect anything copper and made quite a lot of money out of it.

Keep all copper / bronze coins with numismatic interest. I have built a World collection of about 200 copper / bronze coins of the 19th century, all in lower grades, all worth very little per coin.
Interesting collection nevertheless.

@sel_69l I wanted to try to find verities in what I had, and I was wondering if I missed any dates where there were common years for a verity/DD and I collect copper pennies because I mean, it's a penny right? it's not going to hurt to keep just to have it.
