a roll of assorted 1962 to present lincoln cents

OK so I got a roll of pennies from the corner store and the whole roll was like the pictures I'm posting on this discussion...the picture quality isn't what I want but will suffice for now...these lincoln cents don't appear to be anything special until you look closer and the detail is mind blowing....every one of these coins are of spectacular in their own way....also these coins each exhibit a shine that is colorful and eye appealing....can anybody help me here please...I will upload better pics when I get home from work...

    Don’t see anything special from those photos and I see nothing of any great value.
    If you have a couple that you think may be special, post a clear photo of each side
    With an explanation of what you would like to know.
    To avoid confusion, only post one coin per thread.

    Pocket change. Nothing special. They've changed Lincoln in recent years so they will look different than current cents. There is nothing there that is even worth saving. You can find much better examples than those circulated coins.

    Nothing there but spending money. I have no idea why you would think they are anything special.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Pick out the ones that you want to keep for your collection, and put them in a jar.

    Spend the rest.

    All of it is common spending change.

    your first coin picture of the 1972-D shows a nice double die on the date ... if not a photo artifact, that one is a keeper

    No, it doesn't.

    I thought this was a joke but then saw the poster has few posts and is probably just new.
    Buy a RED BOOK https://www.ebay.com/itm/285567282913?, and in the meantime save what you think is interesting. When you get the book you will then have a way to determine value and scarcity. The Red Book has every coin ever minted in the US and has values for them all.
    best,

    Your eyes must be better than mine, I can't see any sign of a Doubled Die
