Many Many Pennies

Make a coffee table out of them. They will love it and want to keep it. You ever see those bar tops with coins and dollars in them? Thats what I'm talking about. Heck if you have enough of them make more and sell them for big dollars!

PS look for key dates and sell those to pay for the stuff you need to make the coffee table(s)!

You can sell any wheat cents you find for a premium.

You could buy a few folders/albums, build sets and sell the sets. I'd save a couple just in case one of the kids or grand kids comes around and gets interested in coins. (Example: 270249831275)

You could check the 1998-2000 for wide/close AMs. (Someone correct me if those years are incorrect).

Set aside anything unusual that you come across (die cracks, Cuds, anything that catches your eye).

It seems there is also a variety in 1992. These two links have good information.

These two sites are also useful in dealing with Lincoln Cents:
http://www.thecentproject.com/ - look at the date tabs on the top right
http://www.coppercoins.com/ - a very good way to identify die varieties

I thought a Cud was something a cow chewed. Did a cow chew on that penny?!

HEY WELCOME TO THE FORUM.
My suggestion is since you are not aware of what is or what is not valueable in those coins, do as you already have as a start. Separate the coins by dates, then by mint marks. Naturally once this is done you'll have to try to figure out some of the oddities in your sorting. Example is the different size dates on the 1960's, 70's, 82's, etc.
However, you first should have really tried to find a book store, coin store, etc and purchased something called the Red Book by Whitman Publishing. With this basic book on coins you would be able to see most of the differences in dates, mint marks, etc. In the back of that book is also many of the possible mint errors to look for. Web sites already noted also are great for information but constantly looking up each coin gets to be a pain. That person that has the web site called https://www.coppercoins.com has two books out on Lincoln Cents. If you can't find them in a coin store, you could probably purchase one through his web site. Much better to sit down with a book and look up items one at a time rather than running to a computer. Just my 2 cents though.
One thing is though get used to looking for anything odd. Just because something is not mentioned on those web sites or in books does not mean you didn't find a rarity.
