Need more info. Otherwise what are we expected to say? We don't even know what Lincolns you have or their condition or desirability, etc.

 

What @Kasia said. I’ll only add this. The bulk of Lincoln cents are not worth “decent money” whatever that concept may be for you. Average bulk wheat cents trade for three-four cents each between experienced collectors. If you happen to be using outrageously priced coins on Etsy or something similar as a guide, be aware those figures are absurd and never realized.

 

Well I basically watch auction stuff and reviews and I've got a lot of the years everyone seems to want just kinda new to this

 

I have them all lol pretty much all the 50 and 60 70 80 90 s are all complete and in great condition...I have a few 40s but not many

 

Years are one thing. Mint Mark is another. And finally condition is the prime deciding factor. An average circulated cent may be valued at ten cents. That same date/mint cent may be valued at ten dollars or more if it is in pristine condition. And shiny does not necessarily equate to pristine. If you could post photos or a list of what you have we could be more helpful.

 

No need to PM me with a comment that easily would have fit in better on this post.

 

I will take some photos now and I don't know how to put them up

 

I'm sry new to all this

 

No problem. But I won't encourage by responding privately. Now you have more info.

 

That’s OK. It was confusing to all of us when we started. By chance do you have a Whitman book two Lincoln set?

 

Put the photos on your computer or device that you use to post. know where to access your photo files, then open CT to post, and after saying what you wish as a post, go down to " upload a file" and click . It will ask you to go to the file with the photos and then click on it to open ( click again if needed on some devices if nothing happens). It should show up in your CT post, click on full size, and repeat as necessary for further photos. Jim

 

Meow can find wheat cents from the 40s on, on a regular basis CRH. Pennies from the 1909-1939 are very hard to find CRH. Meow thinks most people would not want bulk 40s-59 pennies, unless fairly cheap.

 

The 60's 70's 80's 90's are basically 1 cent each.
Unless you have something special.

 

The average wheat cents are probably worth a couple cents each and as stated the newer cents just face value. Errors or high grade may change this.

 

Sounds like you have all common dates but you'll get better responses once you upload photos. Welcome to CT.
