    First you have to determine if they are worth anything over face value. There are very few cent coins in that date range of any value. You can post pictures of individual coins here and see if they are worth anything.

    Welcome to Cointalk
    As stated you can post your pics 1 or 2 at a time and be sure to tell us what you think you see, make sure you crop your images and select full image when you post.

    If you learned this from the uneducated folks posting incorrect information videos on boob tube. Then I can see why you think that. Coins in these years need to be conditional rarities in order to be worth anything over face value. You can post photos as l.Cutler said but you might be disappointed.

    People do win the lottery, but for every one that does , there are multimillions who do not. Same is true in looking for rare varieties. Many are found in circulation , but usually ( there are an occasional exceptions) within a few years of issue, not many years later. Youtube is like the ads from bullion companies who use federal in their name to sell 1 oz bars with your state stamped on it for $59 or something like that. Who wins? they do. Youtube 'producers' make it from subscribers who watch their videos. If it was easy or quick, we would all be rich here, but we aren't. We do have the interest to help you out if we can see the coins well. Welcome Jim

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say you most likely have 20-30 cents total.
    You have to realize billions of these coins were minted. For you to have even
    1 that has value would be very lucky.
    Post photos. 1960 small date Philly is a good coin. 1970-S small date very rare.
    1969-S doubled die, EXTREMELY rare. Most of the dates you listed you would really need a true error, also very rare, or a coin in HIGH grade mint state, also very rare.
    Let's see some stuff. You never know.
