Mrdrae Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 7:08 pm Just a quick question for an opinion, no pictures. Would you keep all wheat pennies regardless of the damage? I have a 1958 D penny but it has a circle ground in around the top of the head and the body of Lincoln. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19703 Posts	Posted 04/02/2021 9:13 pm I hoard wheat cents, but I do unload any that are cull (by my standards). For me, culls include coins which are bent, burned/partially melted, show acid damage, have unreadable dates, are caked with corrosion, etc., etc. I do keep those which are damaged in an interesting way.
