Spending money. No numismatic value.
The first one is an environmental damaged national parks quarter , and as 291 said spend it all
He just didn''t have enough time to spend them. But, you can and say "thanks Grandpa" when you do.... or just save as a silly reminder that us old folks save weird stuff..sometimes.

Thank you
Hopefully the others are more collectable. Maybe he had sorted these out to place in the spending coin jar.

Are the initials on the reverse? Hard to tell.
Not all collections are valuable. While these may be just common date, circulated coins if he left them to you I would think you could find some sentimental value there.
Why spend them?
Would a candy bar make you happier than holding onto some pocket change that your grandpa put away with some curiosity?

Save the copper cents and the wheat cent.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Perhaps he had them because he enjoyed looking at them?
And maybe he thought that you might also.
Was your grandfather into metal detecting? Or have a friend he would go metal detecting or beachcombing with? Some of these, at least, look like metal detector finds (the Sand Dunes quarter, in particular).

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
That's a good thought. I use to save all the coins I found metal detecting regardless of value. Somehow it got lost during a move.

I have a small number of wheat cents in a medicine bottle that were in my Great Grandfathers pocket when he died. Common dates from the teens and early 20's but they will always be special to me. The bottle is labeled in case my Grandkids ever come across it and wonder what the significance is.
Spend them.
That table has more character than those coins.
