Wow! Great find Skelly607!
I wonder how all those coppers got chipped like that though?

Pennies here (USA) made after 1982 have a zinc core with copper over them. The zinc corrodes and makes the holes.

Nice Little hoard !!
On the penny subject, I Sort & keep all my (& any others I can get) pre 83
cents, They are worth over 2c scrap value !! see: http://www.coinflation.com/coins/1909-1982-Lincoln-Cent-Penny-Value.html
look for about 1 out of 8 1982's in copper, and rare 1983 copperss
copper = 3.5 gram/zinc = 2.5 gram, just another of my 'penny pinching' habits !!
Good day & HH, Herbie.
