Wheat Cents

But, but, but... they're RARE! I mean, how often do you find them in pocket change? Therefore they must be extremely valuable, regardless of how many millions were minted or are still in existence, right?

I'm joking, of course, but it's all about perception. Some people will pay a premium for something they want and can't find easily, regardless of the "true" value. It's why people can sell Eisenhower dollars, SBA dollars and bicentennial coins at 2-3 times face value. And it's why I paid $0.75 for each of the last 5 State Quarters my son needed to finish his album before the school year ended last year.

I agree that $2 per coin is ridiculous for common wheat cents, but if somebody is willing to pay that amount then that is exactly what they are worth.

Then he does not let you pick he just gives you one out of the bowl.I ask him if he was really trying to sell these,he look at me like I crazy LOL

ok , if you are not sure if you want pay $2 I ll sale you .50 each just tell me how many thousands do you want and dont worry about shipping !?

lolololololol.............................just kidding ............im not kiding ...........im kiring .......not...im.....

Considering I just bought 10 rolls for $5.47, I say $2 per coin is rather high.

Please" forgive me for my spelling mistake BadThad

Huked on fonicks werked fer mi....

it might be worth your time to look through at least one jar.

My coin dealer had the same thing, 5 jars of wheats. He did however only charge 5cents each, but still let me look through them for as long as I wanted. I went through every penny and I ended up finding a 1922D, a 1912D, and a 1909VDB. Wasn't a bad score for 15cents. My dealer mostly deals in silver and gold coinage, so he bought the collection of wheat pennies and doesn't have time to search through them.

I just like looking though the pennies. If you don't find anything you like, then don't buy anything, but you just might end up finding something worth that $2.
