Coins to identify

The 1969 coin: N#42 

The 1986 coin: N#43 

It should have been easy to identify those coins yourself. Do you have a question other than just identification?

You expect “die rim marks” might happen on circulating coins. Such marks are UNDESIRABLE and, for common coins, actually reduce their value to nil above face value. Each of these cents is worth its face value of a cent. To be added to a date set until you find upgrades.

The 69-S is worth bullion value, currently 1.13 cents per gram, so 3.11g x .95 x 1.13c/g = US$0.034

Is there some place paying $3.40 for pre-1982 Lincolns?

I would think they'd have a stampede.

I havent looked at the market opportunities, just stating bullion value. 

The $3.40 would be for $1.00 face value.

They would except you're 100 times too much. The problem with pennies is separating large quantities of them into copper or zinc.  What scrap yard is going to go through them one by one to just get the copper ones in enough quantity to make it worthwhile?
