Those are Jefferson nickels and not Pennies ( I am sure it was a mis-type!) the enlarged devices you see are due to DDD ( Die Deterioration Doubling) ,commonly seen on earlier type Nickels, the Dies were used much longer than they were intended to.

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 11/16/2017 4:08 pm No, not worth keeping, they're pretty common. The only value I see in them is you now know one particular thing that has no value other than face amount. Better luck on the next one. Report this Post to the Staff
