What is the approximate value of pennies from 1911 to 1964?

Answer

Kind of hard to give you an estimate. If they have been circulated at all, those from 1959 or newer are probably worth about 1 Cent each. The older "Wheat Backs" will bring about 1.5 cents each from a dealer if you are just selling them by the handfull/pound/roll. But if you have them separated and marked by date and mint mark, some could be worth considerably more. For example, a 1914 with a D mintmark below the date would retail for $80 and a 1931 S for $35 in Good Condition and much more in higher grades. Take a good look at those 1922's. If one has no mintmark, it could be worth either $25 or $200, but would have to be examined by an expert to determine which "No-D" variety it is.

On the Above

1922 cents with a weak or missing mintmark were made from extremely worn dies that originally struck normal 1922D cents. Three different die pairs were involved; two of them produced "Weak D" coins. One die pair (no. 2, identified by a "strong reverse") is acknowledged as striking the "No-D" coins.

The 1922 Lincoln, Wheat Ear Reverse cent was only minted in Denver, with 7.16 million made that year. There are three varieties of that coin. There is the regular "D" mintmark, valued from $14 (G-4) to $160 (MS-63). There is also the variety that has no mintmark at all. Unsuspecting people might mistake this for a Philadelphia mint, which did not put a letter on their coins. One common thing with the "No-D" variety is that people trying to make a buck would file down the "D" mintmark and attempt to sell it for hundreds. This coin is valued from $600 (G-4) to $30,000 (MS-63). The third variety is a "Weak-D". The "Weak-D" is priced from $35 (G-4) to $675 (MS-63).
