I would pull the '22-'26 cents out and sell the rest as 2-3 lots .. or get some pennu rolls, roll them, and then sell them 4-5 rolls at a time by decade. Unless the '24 & '26 are near XF, they aren't worth more than $5 .. less to a dealer. The 22, 23 & 25 are worth getting cet'd, only if you are going to sell them .. and then only if they are XF or better. The cost to certify far outweighs the small premium that you would get if you sent them in. A coin needs to actually SELL (not LIST in a book or coin ad) for more than $100 to make it financially worthwhile, unless you are sending in 100 or more coins. 99% of all the Geos minted will never be worth more than it costs to certify them, even if they are UNCs.

Are there any known errors or varieties in that group that would be worth a premium? John1

Sell them in runs of different dates, great for new collectors. Look for varieties first though, and watch the weight, shipping can cost more than the lot is worth!

In circulated grades, the 1949 posted above is the only coin that's going to draw any real interest from buyers. You might want to keep a few of the nicer ones for nostalgia, too.

All 1948 cents should be separated. There are three varieties. The most recently discovered variety is the 1948 A points to small denticles. It is valued at about $25 for XF-40.

You never know what you will find in a bucket like that  I went through a friend's coffee can 2/3 full and found a 1955 n.s.f cent which is pretty rare Of course if they are all King George , There will be no Queen Elizabeth

"You never know what you will find in a bucket like that"
Right--in a pile of George VI cents like that, I found six 49 ATs, including the one in that pic.

Do you collect coins or have any plans to? Because, I think that Indian Head would have pushed me over the edge! If you do collect, or want to find out if you want to, pull the valuable ones as mentioned and then go through and pull out the nicest ones of each year and put together as much of a run as possible. Maybe even the best 3 or 4 of each year. If you don't collect, you should be after that. And you'll have a nice set put aside. Then you can sell the balance in small lots as mentioned and have 3 or 4 "starter sets" to sell. I like buying "kits" like that.

The last A in GRATIA should align with the denticle as show in my pic. If any seem like possibles, post a few pics.
