    Kentucky, are you saying you really graduated from high school (Sorry, I'm in a jocular mood !) ???

    In 1954 I went to a school in Missouri that had two classrooms. One room was 1st grade to 8th grade and the other room was 9 through 12. There were no more than 60 students total. I was in the 2nd grade at the time, my brother was in the 4th.

    I'm impressed that some people have actually seen a high school from the inside !!!

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    My high school is/was the largest school in Pennsylvania, by square footage and enrollment. Graduating class, AFTER a hellaciously bad dropout rate, was 840.

    Yes, some days it paid to be armed to the teeth if you were doing an extra-curricular activity, but you can't have everything.

    I went to a consolidated high school that had over 900 in its ranks, at least 250 of whom probably went on to rewarding lives in a Texas penitentiary.

    Well, in this case I have you to thank. I think the web site you found is pretty interesting. I'll probably spend some time just checking out what's there.

    One thing the site didn't mention is that to get your coin certified, so you can sell it for as much as $15. will cost you between $25 and $50 .

    And I a year earlier. My Lincoln cents from that period were taken from circulation as soon as they were released, but I never thought I could ever expect them to be worth so much that I would want to sell them. 1963, hmmm, about as long as @V. Kurt Bellman has been collecting. I just knew he was some sort of young whippersnapper. ;)

    Amazing how similar that school looks to the one I attended in Boalsburg PA.

    Yeah, up until I was eight, all I was interested in was high-energy physics. ;)

    And it costs more than $15 to certify/slab 'em.

    And if the OP plans to sell, what's a good exit strategy? Craigslist, ebay, coin shows... all have costs.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    I appreciate the effort that went into cointrackers, but it isn't a terribly accurate or useful site in my opinion. For accurate values, use the NGC website: https://www.ngccoin.com/price-guide/united-states/

    The coins you posted in the OP are attractive, and definitely appear MS from the picture. However, generic raw red cents usually sell for a dollar or two - you won't start getting a large premium unless the coin is quite high grade (65 or 66 at least), and usually it needs to be certified to get the really high prices. It appears that the coins you have do not warrant the cost of certification.
