Double_b New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/15/2023 2:21 pm Hello everyone. I recently came across a few jars of pennies that my grandfather collected. He passed away in the early 90s and so far most of the pennies appear to be 1982 and prior. There are a few late 40 and 50 wheats mixed in. I assume he was pulling out all the copper pennies he came across. They are all circulated but in good condition. I assume most of them are going to be worth. 1 penny! Before rolling them up and depositing them, are there any varieties, errors, or key dates that would be worth looking for? Report this Post to the Staff

One of them is varietyvista.
