Welcome to the hobby! Looks like you've got a great variety of dates and mintmarks!
But as mentioned, all appear to be cleaned, scrubbed, or rubbed! Originality is key in this hobby. Original, circulated cents should be a nice chocolate brown. If this is a series you like, you can start (again?) by looking through your change to find them.
Eventually you might decide that you want coins in better condition. Red, uncirculated cents might be the next stage. At that point you might want to consult the books, ask for more help here, and check out a local coin dealer.
@amjo... Welcome aboard... as stated, those are fairly common cents... and most look to be cleaned. However, do not be discouraged... we all started out with such coins... If you cleaned them, do not do that anymore.. if not, good. Keep coming to this forum, ask questions, buy the Redbook... and have fun. Cheers, RickO
A fun way to start this hobby (many of us did this) is to go to a hobby store and get a folder that has slots in them for Lincoln cents, by the year and mint mark. Then start filling it up going through your change and change jars. One thing leads to another after that, but it's an engaging way to begin, you learn a lot, and there's no danger of "rookie mistakes."
Please come back here for questions. Glad you posted! Welcome!
Hi and Welcome To School! I say school because you'll not only be taught in coins but in many other areas as well. Such as in ethics, manners and in business. All those pennies, like mentioned, are heavily cleaned. Which is a cardinal rule NOT to do in coin collecting! Also mentioned, all your coins really have no value from what I can see anyway? The Redbook is highly recommended in future searching. From all the dates you have there, the 1969s can be the real prize in the variety family. If the obverse date, mintmark and In God We Trust are all doubled, it would be of monstrous value! Keep on looking and don't give up. Whatever area of collecting you decide, hopefully will excite you like most of us. Remember, post often and don't be a stranger. Most of all, have FUN! Once again, welcome to our forum. -joey

You should get yourself one of these.

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
They all look like they were cleaned using a pencil eraser.
Nothing of value there...at least from what I can see.
Get a Red Book as mentioned above and start learning.
Best of luck!
