You can always sell them on ebay, a flea market or set up at a coin show. Be aware that your selling expenses will most likely eat up all your profits. The buy/sell spread is not very wide on common date wheat cents. |

 , To CCF , If your grandfather threw them in ammunition cases this tells me he wasn't concerned with key dates . So I would not bother selling them for peanuts . My advice is keep them in the family , children ,grandchildren .etc. But definitely take them out of that metal box and holder the nice ones . all others can be sorted out in non PVC bags.  |

You said you have them sorted by year. What do you have for 1909, 1910, 1911, 1914, and 1922? List if they have no mint mark under the date, or if they have a D or an S under the date. If you can supply us with that information, it will make it a whole lot easier for us to offer you an opinion. |

Mox is right - also look for mint-marked coins from 1912, 1913, 1915 and 1931. Let us know!  to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog

to CCF .... I hope we can help with all your questions. If you brought them into the shop I work ... the offer would be Two Cents each. I have seen some selling common wheat cents on ebay and getting between five and ten cents each. If you want to search through them. Check for mint makes coins from years 1909 through 1914. Also look for 1922, 1924 D, 1926 S, 1931 S. I might even pull any higher grade coins below 1935. If you find coin in those years you can try posting pictures of them on this site. Just for opinions on their grade and value. |

Also look for pre-1935 dates from any mint with a trace of original luster on them!

I think we may have added so many dates/mints/grades we've scared the poor person away!

I don't know, the coin store will probably low ball you. Oh, also look for the 1955 DDO, you'll know one if you see one! |

I have four coin books that I am trying to fill holes for;
Three are not mine, the fourth is mine;
If you are willing to part with some, please see what you have that I need, and pm me how much you would want.
My signature (below \/ \/ ) has a link to the thread listing out my "wanted" Lincolns :D
