This is a sewn, uncirculated, signed and unopened bag of pennies from the Denver Mint, dated 1962. They sit on the floor in my office and I use them mostly as a doorstop. I acquired them in 2016 after my mother in law died and her estate in Dekalb County was settled. There was an extensive coin collection that had been sitting since the 1970s and was split up by the surviving family. No one wanted these and so I snagged them up, and here they sit.

I would love some information on them. The small amount of research I have done yields very little specific information on the value. I'm willing to trade with a reputable member of ODT.

Thanks for looking.

copper spot is at $3.82/lb. 428 grams in a lb, a pre 82 copper penny weighs 3.1 grams, reduce 10% for melt value.

There may be coins with numismatic value in the bag in which case the greater-fool theory kicks in
 
Grams notwithstanding, I'm looking for somewhere in the neighborhood of $200.00 as the numismatic/cash/collectible value for his bag of pennies.

Thanks for your interest and the information!
