Hello I'm just curious if any of these are even worth checking into..I have roughly atleast 19 of these,mostly all with D mint but have a few other mints in the mix as well and most are in pretty dang good condition, others just more wear but nothing bad that takes away the look much. I will post a few photos just to give an idea and not sure exactly if posting in correct spot so if not my apologies but I'm just tired of everywhere saying such drastic differences in prices and rarity that I've given up searching. Been very helpful here so giving it a shot. Thanks for any help. I know the basics when it comes to info on them so not needing much of that but are they worth grading? Should I just put them back and keep hanging onto?

Most of them look in nice circulated condition ,some are rusted but that's typical if they are not conserved well in storage . None of your coins are gradable , so do not send in .

They're fun but not worth very much in circulated grades like yours.

to the CCF!

Unless they are in MS condition, there is not much value in them.
Between the three mints, there were over 1 Billion minted so the
there are plenty of them around. Probably worth around 25 cents each.

Agree with all above.

Agree with the others. It's a nice batch of circulated coins but very low value.

Thats kind of what my conclusion was pointing towards too but dont have a wide range of knowledge compared to most collectors. They are definitely circulated,1 id say is in very good condition closer to MS but still not there. They were left stored in a plastic roll container when I found them so hoping to save them from anymore damage and storing properly. Sometimes you never know what you might have is what my gut was telling me but dont think thats right this time lol..thanks for your help everyone that commented!

its ok to store them in a plastic tube but humidity is their nemesis

Just for giggles you might find a good magnifying glass and look them over closely for mint errors. A circulated 1943 D/D in really nice condition could still be worth around $100. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...01-019/37819

Also double check those dates—there's almost no chance of this, but if you were to happen on a 1944 steel penny, that would be something to get excited about. https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...-steel/82722

All circulated mid AU grade.
