    As you have posted this in the What's it Worth section, I assume you are enquiring about value. If not could you be a bit more precise with your question? People here are glad to help if they knew what to help with

    You'll have to give us more to work with.
    you may have questions, concerns etc all wound up in your head ... but we're not online telepathists to know anything for sure.

    we see 5 pennies, worth 5 cents. If you read a book, youtube, website about "making it rich with pocket change" you might be in for a surprise in reality.

    Lincoln cents like these are worth 2 to 4 cents each.

    First, they're called cents (officially from the mint). Just look at the reverse of the coins you posted.

    Second, they're in circulated condition. They did their job working commerce for a living.

    You’ve been a member almost entire year, so you should know that we in order to answer you properly, need to have more information from you. I am speculating on what you need but it appears you have normal circulation worn wheat cents.
    At best they are worth two cents each. They’re all common dates and I don’t see anything special about them. I see no dye cracks, no doubling, no nothing. If I speculated wrong about what you’re asking, please give specifics.

    Wheat cents are the way most of us US coin collectors got our feet wet in the hobby. They each hold the lure of decades of history in each and every one and they are a sentimental favorite for most collectors….. The reality is the bulk of the series is valued at five or ten cents in common circulated condition and yes there are a few dates worth considerably more. Looks like a great start to a coin collection to me in your photo.

    I sold wheat pennies like these to a dealer for 2 cents a piece. I have a tin can with wheat pennies in it. If you have a full set with key dates you could get $1100

    What makes you think it’s an error? I do see two small die chips in the date, the 9 and the 5. Die chips are mint errors but they are so common no one really wants them.

    Maybe die deterioration?

    Worth their weight in copper. They're fun, but you're not going to strike it rich unless you are lucky enough to find a rare date like the 1914-D or the 1909-S VDB. I myself started with wheat cents, if you have any specific questions you can ask in the US Coins forum, or in this one as well.
