It really depends on what you have. The Lincoln wheat reverse minted from 1909-1958 are most desired by collectors. You can typically expect to pay around $5 per roll of circulated wheat backs. Lincoln memorial cents minted from 1959 to date are sought after in mint state condition. I myself buy rolls of Lincoln wheats, let me know if anyone has some to offer. I hope this helps out. Happy collecting!

Can you sell your pennies as copper by weight?
Well, you could... However, pennies are not pure copper. By the time the buyer would melt out the other metal, you probably would not get 1-cent for each penny. I mean, think about it...If copper pennies contained a lot of pure copper, everyone would be taking pick-up trucks full of pennies to sell as copper. But no one does, because it is not pure copper and has little value even after being melted.
