Both coins are perfect for plugging a hole in an album. As for value, about two cents each is what you can expect to get for them from your LCS.
They are actually worth a little more than two cents, but the cost of getting them ready for sale would be more trouble than what a dealer could get for them. They would fill holes in a young collector's album. The Red Book price guide says they are worth about 25 cents each retail.
They are worth it to you and that's all that matters. I too agree that they are worth a bit more than face value, worth putting in a album. Thanks for posting them.
Welcome to CT @James p Wherry. It is helpful if your post title and following comments direct members to specific things you would like answered. Asking "wat you think" can lead to some of the answers you have received. Not very helpful to you or others trying to learn from this forum. Old coins seldom equate to valuable coins, so as you learn, you will see that there are many questions to have answered before any of us can evaluate your coins. Here is my usual speech for new members. For the best results, you should post "in focus," FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and are easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows (you can use https://www.remove.bg for free), and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.
When I find Wheats metal detecting, the best part is turning it from the wheat side to see the date. Sometimes, a great once-in-a-while, it's something neat. The best spot to find Wheat Pennies is the playground, because they fell out of someone's pocket, not too long ago, so little corrosion. Living fast and hard, out here in Jersey!
To most collectors, 25 cents retail is nothing. It’s not enough for dealers to mess with. What I should have said was than in roll quantities, 50 coins, some dealers will pay more than face value.
