To determine which is worth more, we need to calculate the total value of each set of coins. 25,723 dimes would be worth 25,723 * $0.10 = $2,572.30. 231,524 pennies would be worth 231,524 * $0.01 = $2,315.24. Therefore, 25,723 dimes are worth more than 231,524 pennies.
For the most part those made before the 1960s are the ones worth keeping.
16 ounces (or 1 pound) of pennies would be a total of about 181 pennies.
5 pennies, or 0.05 dollars.
The Lincoln cent has been in use since 1909, and many of them are indeed worth more than one cent. However, given that there are more than 250 varieties when including all dates and mint marks, it's impossible to list all the values here. Basically, all wheat cents (1909-1958) have collector value, and anything dated before 1982 is currently worth two cents for the copper content.
Keep anything older than 1958. The last wheat cents were made in 1958 and usually these carry a value higher than the face value.
Wheat pennies or any other US pennies were ever made of silver. They would be worth more than a dime if they were made of silver. A regular 1941 wheat penny is worth around 3-7 cents in circulated condition.
Wheat cents are a variety of Lincoln cents minted from 1909 to 1958, currently worth about two cents. The Lincoln memorial pennies are still face value.
Because Indian Head pennies are older than the more familiar wheat and memorial cents. Thus, less are preserved and they are scarcer. Also, many times the mintage figures were much, much, lower on early Indian Head pennies than on even wheat pennies, let alone memorial cents.
Some more than others. For more valuable coins, they have to be pre-WWII. Postwar coins are only worth 3-10 cents each.
All of them are collectible, some are worth more than others.
Earlier years are more valuable than later coins. The more collectible wheat pennies are pre-WWII.
All wheat pennies, regardless of year are worth at least 3 cents if the date is readable. Some wheat pennies though, are worth quite a bit more. For instance, the 1909 S VDB penny is worth several hundred dollars even in worn condition and so is the 1914 D penny. However, a 1909 S VDB penny in pristine condition could be worth thousands of dollars. In general, the older the wheat penny the more valuable it is. For example, most wheat pennies dated in the 1940s-1950s aren't that valuable, but wheat pennies dated in the teens and twenties are worth a lot more.
Assuming the coin is circulated and has no mintmark, the 1919 Lincoln cent is a high mintage, common date coin. Retail values for average circulated coins are less than $1.00.
The idea is to save copper pennies because their melt value is higher than face value. If the U.S. government eventually makes it legal to melt old pennies, then said hoarders can sell their pennies at a profit.
The 1951 coin is made from Bronze with a weight of 3.11 grams, that's why it weighs more than other Lincoln cents after 1982 that weigh 2.5 grams and are made from Zinc.
You can't. The last year for wheat pennies was 1958. 1959 was the first year for Lincoln Memorial pennies. These can sometimes still be found in change; you get one in better condition from a dealer for a quarter or so. FWIW, there is an unconfirmed "mule" cent with a 1959 front and 1958 back. This error coin, if it exists, would be quite valuable because it would be the only known 1959 wheat cent.
