I got these after my grandpa passed away. Any particular ones of great value? I know the '43 Steels are valuable. All 3 pass the magnet test. What kind of value am i looking at for them?

The 1943 steel cents, I'm sorry to tell you, are still very common in circulated condition, as here, and only worth a few cents each. Same for the rest of the coins shown. I would keep it as a remembrance of your grandpa and/or pass it down to another relative.
Kind regards,
George
Nice looking set. Not too much value there though. The 1943 steel pennies are neat but not worth a whole lot either. 1940's and 1950's wheats were made in enormous quantities and worth about 3-5 cents apiece.
Take a close-up picture of the 1955 with Doubled Die Obv. written above it. If it's really the DDO then that coin there could have significant value.

Neither 1955 is the ddo
Now that is a nice set boy if them all was a gem you probably be looking at a little bit of premium but I like it I would just keep it if it was send down the family keep it and do the same thing its what you're family would want you would not get enough money out of it to even mess something up like that.
What if @BJY83 wanted to sell? would BST be the best venue? Ebay?

Unfortunately, the shipping costs more than the value. I would suggest a local coin shop if you want to sell.
Not much in less you have some DDO like in the 1969,70,72,58,60-D, need to look at them close to see if there are any and a couple more could be in there but that is a good start. Good luck looking and welcome aboard.
Hoard the keys.
This is BST not an english class. Be nice!

I'm sorry about the fast writing didn't mean nothing buy.I was just trying to see were I am even at on this site. It will get better now I want lie sometimes my writing is not perfect but I will do the best I can. You would have to no my story to really know why and what I do. I didn't get the chance like most people did I'm a old country man had to work school was not important were I grew up at so I hope people can understand that. But it don't take the love of the hobby of collection coins. Sorry to all I mean well you all will see I'm a good guy not a expert but I have read about all the books. I must of read for a long time about errors and varieties how the mint department works every detail about how the coin is made I have coins from the start were it didn't print the front or the back. All it did was make the rim of the coin. There will not be no more long writing it will be what ever is wrong with the coin. Thanks again

Thank you I'm trying to figure it all out. I think I figured it out thanks everyone.
My local coin store (LCS) would not buy the coins that you have pictured. They are all very common dates. These coins can still be found in change from time to time, or found during coin roll hunting.
