jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4707 Posts	Posted 10/18/2018 9:02 pm Today's quote from the TV coin guys when referring to a bag of Wheaties. They are trying to sell them at full retail for around 10 cents each (which is too much), and they say "they really aren't common coins". Give me a break. Report this Post to the Staff

Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 999 Posts	Posted 10/18/2018 10:28 pm Anyone who is not at least semi-knowledgeable about U.S. coins will probably agree with that statement. They will think about how rare it has been to get one in their change over the past number of years. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12935 Posts	Posted 10/18/2018 10:33 pm I agree with that. Most of the people that watch and buy from those guys are not at least semi-knowledgeable tho. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 08:48 am It is also a relative thing. You could say they aren't common compared to modern cents. They make more cents in a single year now than they made Wheat cents in the entire 1941 to 1958 period and probably pretty close to more in 1 or 2 years as for all the wheat cents produced.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 80186 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 3:28 pm Yep, I've seen plenty of those claims before on TV. It's just a gimmick, so that you'll buy their stuff for a inflated price. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
