It's 5 cents. I'd keep them all if you really want to.

 

dude im asking for a reason i no they are varieties but im not sure how rare they are but thanks i no its five cents the last pic its actually a dollar with a die chip

 

Dude,

I think the question you meant to ask is, "Which one of these varieties is the rarest?"

 

I sent this thread to a small cent variety collector. he'll come back and tell you.

 

The 1943 cent is Zoell R66d - not very common, but really not worth much to anyone, other than me and a few others who like to chase down the Zoell varieties. You might get $2 for it on eBay...

The 1947 Maple Leaf is a 'mortar set' variety, a name coined by Hans Zoell for the chipping of the chromium plating off the dies, some years harder to find than others - only a real premium in mint state condition.

The 1965 is a blunt 5.

The 1967 is machine doubling of the reverse.

Last coin, looks like a plating error - no premium on those.

 

Impressive eh?

 

SPP is the guy that I emailed to help you. He's the guru when it comes to small cent errors (much heavier on the errors than struck varieties) and bright and shiny nickel dollars. He wrote the last nickel dollar variety section for Charlton. He's a nice guy, but eats too many donuts. Take a look at his registry sets some time.

 

thank you then i will keep all of them i have just too many and wanted to break it down i got all of these from my uncle he had lots of varieties which i trying to learn about them ,,,thanks to everyone
