A while back I bought a bunch of hand rolled pennies from the bank, which all turned out to be uncirculated pennies from the 1970s and 1980s. This is the first time I have ever found UNC pennies from the 1980's, specifically 1982 and later. Usually pennies from those years are damaged / corroded / look like they've been put in an oven (many have this weird bubbling appearance). Are these something I might want to have graded?
I'll stick my opinion out there and say no, none of them would worth the grading fee, insurance, and postage for grading. Granted, I don't collected graded coins, but that's just me. For my raw LMC set I like a spotless field and very few scratches/contact marks. Your coins don't seem to fall in this category. In all honesty, I bet most would probably be hard press to send a common cent in for grading if it's not at least a MS 67. Still, nice finds though.
I agree with Dimeguy, unless you know how to grade and can pick out 67's or better they're not worth submitting. I would however check them for die varieties. There are some nice ones from the eighties that are worth the search.
Okay. Just checked for die varieties, and my two 1984P Lincolns have different bow ties. Here is a large scan. I also checked under magnification, and the Lincoln on the right has an extra section to his bow tie.
Now, see! That's kind of cool...ah heck, let's throw out the "kind of." That is cool! Nice observations!
Weird though, because I definitely don't have a double die obverse, which is what that example I just posted is.
