Best Answer

There are 800 pennies in a 50lb bag so its worth 8 dollars. There is nothing special about pennies minted in 1983 they are your standard zinc pennies.

Correction:1983 and later zinc US cents weigh 2.5 gm each so there are 181.44 in a standard US pound. 181.44 * 50 = 9072 pennies, or $90.72

You can expect the weight of the pennies to vary because of the varying degrees of circulation, but you can expect the total weight to be right around 250 grams.

It is worth face value unless it is uncirculated or has an S under the date.
