If mine they would likely become a foot rest under my desk for a few years. After that, who knows..
I doubt you would be able to get more than face value for them in a way that's worth your time(or legal), if you figure it out be sure to let us know.
I am also guilty of tossing the copper ones into a bucket for some future unknown reason.

Don't buy Silver price is too high right now..

make a floor to a room somewhere?
I had been saving them from circulation for a few years, but recently cashed them in at the free coin-counter at our credit union. (only about $20 worth)

...drive it to Las Vegas and lay it all off on Georgia +4 over Bama on Monday night
Deposit them.
Cash them in then buy some reverse proof silver eagles I'm missing for my set.

HMMMM........a nice 1914-D Lincoln.....look for the obverse die with the sharp strike.

@AllCoinsRule Great sense of humor!

I'm thinking Georgia outright. Now, watch them get demolished just because I said this here. But yeah if you are going to bet on Georgia +4 already, just take them outright.

Bring them to a scrap yard.
That's thirteen really, really nice paperweights that look surprisingly like Priority Mail medium flat rate boxes.
All those pennies would go back 1-1 and I'd get a nice CBH to fondle.
Throw them in the hole with the rest of them.

You opened my eyes to a different way of thinking.
...you are correct...as long as money keeps pouring in on the Alabama side, while the line drops a hook tells me the house probably makes $$$ on this baby...Always take the points man...Always
Take them to a wishing well with a bottle a whiskey.
This. And hope that you don't get whacked a fee for doing so.
Why do they deserve a cut?
Have a lot of patience? Check 'em for doubled dies.
Guess I should add good eyes, too.
Get payment as an iTunes or Lowe’s or Starbucks gift card. No cut to Coinstar if you get a gift card. This is what I would do if it were $650 in Zincoln (1982-present) cents.
Take the Falcons and the the Under
Take 'em to the coin shop and grab a good date for the lincoln album
The owner takes rolls (unwillingly).
Check to make sure you don't have any duplicates.
Make a trip to a couple of banks/credit union and cash them in.... Then take your wife on an extravagant date night to include dinner and entertainment of your choice. That is an investment that will enrich your life far more than your next coin purchase. Cheers, RickO
I guess if you want any of those gift cards. So if a cup of Joe was $3.59 at Starbucks would you run $3.59 worth of cents thru the Coinstar machine?
put it towards some nice coin that you want.
No, based on the parameters of this thread, I’d have $650 worth of gift cards that I’d put in my wallet and take roughly 10 years to use up at Starbucks (I don’t go there a lot). My 80’s fixer-upper home, however, causes me to spend a lot at Lowe’s and Home Depot, so that would be my preferred route. If Coinstar will count for free if I take a gift card instead of cash, and it’s to a place I’d be spending money anyway, then that beats rolling 65,000 cents by hand and taking them to a bank.
@mvs7 excellent point.
My bank would promptly have them unrolled and run thru the counter. My gist was that it would be silly to put the whole $650 towards either a Starbucks or Itunes gift card. Lowes would be ok, but it would take me longer than you to use up the $650. Can a Coinstar machine even hold that much? Since there's no charge to me, I'd just take em to my bank, tho I long ago gave up accumulating change.
13 bags of pennies? After lamenting at the effort involved and procrastinating, I'd cash them in. Is this a trick question?

@Balely For real..No trick question, I honestly don't know what to do with them. I keep thinking they're all copper cents.
Even if some are, is it worth the effort to hand sort them to save the ones that are pure copper?
Well, if they're not in your way, then just store them. If you're asking how can i sell them fore more than 1c each, my question for you is, what is your time and effort worth? For the answer is: Retail them to Collectors.

Up here near Seattle, none of the big banks have free-to-customer coin counting machines and my bank would charge me to count them on their machine. I think there are only a few credit unions up here (none near my actual house) that provide counting for free. I remember on the east coast that TD Bank had the lobby counting machines, but nothing like that here.
Anyway, from a logistical standpoint, no one is going to run through $650 of cents through at one time... for one thing 3.11g per pre-1982 cent times 65,000 times (1/453.592) pounds/gram = just short of 450 pounds. The most I've ever done is ~$150 in mixed change (cents to quarters), and even that is like three quart jars in a backpack weighing around 40 pounds. I've also thrown in ~$200+ just in clad halves (silver hunting with the kids). The gift card limit for a single transaction at Coinstar machines is a minimum of $5 and a maximum of $500, so for more than that, I'd assume you'd just break it up into a few separate transactions. The bottom of a Coinstar machine is essentially six collection areas (one for cent, nickel, dime, quarter, half, and small-size dollar), so you can max it out, at which point the machine will either end your transaction and say that it is unable to take any more of a particular denomination or will "reject" through the reject slot any more of that denomination... that happened to me with halves at one time.
You might ask, why not just take the halves back to the bank? I've found that my bank will happily sell you lots of rolls of halves, because they don't like them, but they really are unhappy if you just bring most of them back re-rolled the next day for them to schlep back to the vault. So, I blow that money at Lowe's instead.
. Win win.

@Boosibri you said...Deposit.
@Crypto you said...Deposit them.
@BillDugan1959...you said Deposit them.
Or anyone.
What do you mean by Deposit them??
You may be able to find a shop or buyer who would pay you a premium over face.
A local guy here pays 1.2 cents a coin.
You'd be leaving 130 on the table if you just deposit them.
Then again, maybe 130 isn't worth the time.
Best answer by a mile.
What?
Way to long, looked at it for a nano second and said...............NA!
...Good Lookin Out!...PM me an address where I can send u a small numismatic gift cause I parlayed that baby for a couple black chips...I love going against the grain...The house was well fed today with both dogs barking and both unders covering easily (1st & 2nd half’s & game)...Nice Pick man and Thanks for sharing
Thank you again for your thoughts, I'll take it from here.

Wow. Ok, if three paragraphs is such a struggle, you could always stick with Twitter.
