How much are 10lb of pennies worth?
If you are asking about the numismatic value then it would depend upon the dates, mint marks and condition of each coin.

Both types were made in 1982. But before you start sorting your pre- and post 1982 pennies, you should know that there is an administrative order prohibiting the "melting or exporting of large numbers of one and 5 cent coins" which could result in a fairly large fine.
