5 gallon water jug full of wheat, memorials, and shields!

Hey all! I just recently was given a full 5 gallon water jug from my dad that he started collecting sometime in the 90s. He is not a coin collector he was just saving them to turn them in one day and never stopped so they haven’t been picked through since he received each penny. There are a small amount of wheats, a S ton of memorials and a bunch of the more current pennies. My questions is what varieties or errors should I be looking for that may be worth something? I have made a list please let me know if I’m missing any. I know all of the wheats to keep an eye for so just memorial and up. I will keep you guys updated if I ever find anything maybe worth of value. I’m just excited to look through them if I find anything or not.

1971 DDO-001 is quite difficult to find

 

I've only found one in all my searches. Pretty surprised at that.

 

Yes, I have one, Die Stage B on VV

 

Wow... 200 lbs of pennies. Your going to be busy for awhile.

 

I need to pull mine out again. I haven't looked at it in years. Now I have a much better USB scope to take some pictures

 

'82-D, copper, small date. (Long shot - only 2 have been found, I think - but I figured since you're looking anyway...)

 

All I can say is HAVE FUN!!!

 

Have fun,this is my 1972 FS-103 good luck

 

Got those added I’m assuming you meant all of those are wide AMs?

 

Got it added thank you wish me luck lol..

 

I was at it for an hour tonight and it’s almost embarrassing how many I made it through maybe 200-250 out of what 30-35k???

 

Hey you never know I’ll add that as well

 

It’s fun now but I have a feeling about a few thousand in I’ll be not as excited lol.

 

Awesome I just found out these existed the other night so I ended up grabbing the one I found. Hopefully the wife doesn’t check the bank statements this month!

 

Ladies and gentlemen if you’d like to become a penny expert within a few weeks and paid hourly at 20$ an hour please feel free to contact me! Please..?? Will be taking much longer then expected

 

Yes. all 3 are wide AM's.

 

If it was completely full then it should be closer to 42k, lol. The last time I filled a 5 gallon water bottle full of pennies it weighed a little over 200 pounds and there was just over $420 worth in it.

 

If you put those in their the rarest of them all is the 92 and 92D close AM.
