1983 or later pennies weigh 2.5 grams (copper plated zinc)
1981 and earlier pennies weigh 3.1grams (copper)
1982 pennies can be either one - The US Mint changed the composition of the penny in mid-year.
One pound is 454 grams, so:
181.6 later pennies or 146.4 earlier pennies is one pound

It works out to be about 180 Lincoln pennies per pound and since the copper value for pre-1982 pennies is 3-4 times the face value, you could do well on eBay if you can still find them.
Some of the Lincoln Wheat pennies are worth more, so you will need to spend the time to research each year to access the collectors value.
