Large Cents With No Dates

So, I'm assuming that you have Large Cents in such bad condition that the date can't be read.
You have people who save any "Pre" date pennies because of "copper" value. Well.....here with your Large Cents you have some copper !
There may be some ways to "reveal" the date on these.... similar to "nic-a-date" on Buffalo nickels, but I'm not aware of any myself that would work here.
I'm sure there are people out there who would buy them for a little bit (no dealers or serious coin people would though).....but if you " inherited" them, just throw them in a box somewhere for 30 years or so.

Got any kids? Nieces, nephews or just a kid you know who seems kinda cool? Give them one and explain a little about how Lincoln wasn't always on the cent or that it wasn't always the size it is now. Maybe you'll get that glazed look we're all so familiar with when we launch into a talk on our hobby to normal people but then again maybe you'll start a budding collector. Maybe not now but possibly ten or twenty years down the road when they find that odd looking coin in a shoebox with a bunch of other treasures from when they were a kid. They probably aren't worth much anyway and they didn't cost you anything so what the heck.

Yes pics would help

I should have time this weekend to post a couple of pics. Some of them are pretty rough. I'll post a couple of the "better" ones.
