what about them needs identification? what years?
I have several 5 gallon jugs of pennies from over the years. I've begun the process of sorting out the 95% copper and wanted to scan some of them ...

Scan them for what? Varieties? Value?
There are no really good apps for any coins.
Personally, I'd dump them all in a coin sorting machine or take them to one of those 0.02 gift card promotions. YMMV

Yeah, mainly just the really old buggers. It's more for kicks than actually trying to "find" something. THx for your input.

Thanks. I'm happy I asked first.

Unless they were hoarded before 1963 you will probably be wasting your time and eyesight. It is always possible you could have some of the microscopic varieties that are all the rage these days but probably not many. Even if you do find any you have to be able to market them without running up significant sales related costs.
Is it worth the effort?
No. Will just seperate for 95% copper.
Thanks!

Nicest pull so far. Common wheat but oh that color

People really underestimate what you can still find in change. We are coin collectors for crying out loud! Why not look at your change and see if you've got something? All it costs is your time. Save it for a rainy day if youre too busy. It doesnt have to be some microsopic variety to find after 1963. Never heard of the 1972, 1983, 1984, 1995 doubled dies? They are all still out there and are worth hundreds of dollars. I found the 1983 ddr in MS64RD conditions about 9 years ago:
You could also find those close AM 1992 cents and sell them for a couple grand and buy something you prefer with the proceeds.
But probably a waste of time, right? 😆
No good apps for scanning, but you can visit coppercoins.com and learn about all the varieties. Good luck

Yep, me and the wife are gonna take ours to the coin counter at our bank next month. We figure we can have a couple bucks for the gun show coming up.

some stores are offering over face gift cards for cants
Use the pennies/ cents for food at the gun show. Gotta keep your energy levels up 😈
Careful, those bottles get very heavy. Glad to see you have it split in two. Careful with your back.
We're pretty rural. Hasn't been any offers that we've seen like that around here.
