FredderF New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 5:02 pm Any insight as to the value would be appreciated. The ones I've got are circulated pennies, no proofs. I want to sell them all at local coin store but not get ripped off. Here's what I got, any insight will be appreciated. 40'S 50'S 60'S 70'S 80'S... 1940 1941 1942 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1955 1956 1957 1958 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 5:18 pm Next to dateless Buffalo nickels, the last thing any coin dealer wants is more Lincoln cents. If they are low grade, maybe a few cents each. If AU, maybe 50 cents. Report this Post to the Staff

JJHFL Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 5:46 pm I believe my local shop would pay maybe 3 cents for wheats 1930 and up. Nothing for the rest. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff
shootnstarz Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 6:00 pm My LCS offered me $.015 per wheatie. I guess that was a polite way of saying "we don't want them". Rick Report this Post to the Staff
lknerr Valued Member United States 167 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 6:18 pm My LCS pays .03 per wheat. Nothing for the rest. Report this Post to the Staff
Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 6:49 pm Try putting them all together on ebay. You will probably get more than the coin shop will give you. Report this Post to the Staff
skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 07:54 am My LCS won't buy them from people. They turn them away constantly. I agree with the ebay route though, as much as I have grown to hate ebay. That would be a good option for selling them in larger quantities. Report this Post to the Staff
shootnstarz Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 08:37 am Yep, ebay them or maybe put an ad on craig's list for a local buyer. Rick Report this Post to the Staff

miket Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 6:28 pm Well if you sell them on Craig's list make sure you meet the buyer at your local Police Station. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe for a extremely valuable transaction... But I've bought many coins off of Craigslist, the biggest transaction seven hundred dollars, and six another time.. And I usually just meet in a parking lot somewhere. For the most part Craigslist is safe, more honest people than people literally trying to rob you.. And you should be able to get a feel for those people before meeting. Maybe for a $1000+ I'd say meet more public but for $5-10 in pennies? But then again I have a LTC and always carry.. So maybe I'm less worried than the average non gun owner.. But I've bought and sold many coins and even more other things and have never met anyone except honest, kind folk.. But to each his own.. But even on Craigslist unless there wheats, and early wheats at that (1909-20's) circulated would probably still only be .03-.04 apiece.. A bit more for the earlier ones (again teens and 20's) but not much more at all. That or the Bay would be your best bet.. My LCS won't even take circulated wheats let alone LMC's...

stud722 Pillar of the Community United States 1088 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 7:38 pm My LCS also buys them for 3 cents per wheat. Sells them in bulk for 5 cents each. Not a huge profit to be made here I am afraid. Best bet is ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 08/12/2013 9:52 pm I usually meet my buyers at a Barnes and Noble or Starbucks or somewhere like that. National chains, of course, with security and video cameras and stuff... Just in case. Report this Post to the Staff
