It's worth 1c. Spend it.
It is a decent example for use in an album, but the corrosion spots on the reverse of the coin make this coin a poor candidate for grading imo.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Unfortunately I agree with the previous posters. This has very small value. Either good for an album, or you can just spend it. No real numismatic value worth trying to sell it.
My apologies but I realized I uploaded the wrong photos. This is the 1982 1C SD zinc I was asking about. Please look and comment. Thank you.
Even without the areas you mentioned, the quality of the coin isn’t nearly good enough to merit the cost of grading.

Just my 2c, but you have 2c. Spend it.
Thanks for your help. Not sure what to do with the thousands of Pennie’s we have from the 1930’s through current.
Wheat cents can be sold by the pound, number, or roll on ebay. I sold 50 pounds once and shipped in a flat rate box, super taped up... got there safe and sound. Sure got rid of a bunch I had laying around cluttering up my office! Just do a search on ebay for what you want to sell.

vegas baby!
Wheat cents are $200+ per $50 bag these days.
Depends on what they are. What cents are around 4 cents each in volume. Respectfully, if you spent time with the two coins you posted here, you lack the knowledge to sort and sell them yourself. You can learn, but you're going to have to learn to love the process.
Bulk coins like that are generally not high value coins. They were likely bought in bulk and will need to be sold in bulk.
The most efficient way to do it is to find a trustworthy dealer and just sell them as is. Be prepared for them to tell you to take the modern verbs to a coin star.
These are going to be a tough sell. Realistically if they are not literally exceptional condition they are worth a few cents a piece IF you can find someone to buy the quantity. @jmlanzaf is a person who knows and has given very correct advice.
Thank you all for the replys.
@jmlanzaf you are correct we do not have the knowledge but we are trying to learn. My father saved every penny he got from the time he met my mother so there are thousands after almost 60 years of marriage.
We appreciate everyone’s expertise and I am sure we will get excited about another coin that we shouldn’t.
Thanks again
As long as you enjoy the journey, keep looking. While it is unlikely that you find anything rare, you never know until you look.
I recently had a chance to buy a similar accumulation of 500,000 cents. I passed even though I could buy them at face value and they were 10% wheat cents. It was simply not worth my time or effort. But some people enjoy the search.
Good luck!
Your coin would have to grade at least a 66 before you can even conside covering the grading fees. Not really a good example because of the spotting and the weaker strike.
