There is simply no numismatic premium for bags of circ zinc Lincolns.
Tell it to this guy. He's sold 11 bags at $89 plus $15 shipping, total $104. This is for 1983-2008 bags. I suspect that 1983-1989 bags would go for much more. The key point here is early Zincolns, not the more recent ones.
He’s filling a drum with cents for a photo.
I am naive. Are barrels of single-date coins so common that a normal discussion happens? Am I getting that right?
If one of you had to fill an oil drum with 2022 P cents, how would you go about it?
Shenanigans.
I would not want to handle each coin individually unless I were looking for varieties. It's easy for me to say, but you might rig up a part sorter or feeder (a spiral drum driven by a motor) to feed your coins one-by-one into a coin comparator (which uses differences in weight or electrical response) to automatically segregate bronze from zinc cents. Your mileage may vary! Good luck!

One at a time. And I'd make a wish before tossing each one in.
Let me guess: "I wish this was the last penny so I could go do something more interesting."
Still here. Weighting on my new scale to arrive.
All comments have mostly been appreciated.
