But, as I'm going through, are there any key dates I should be looking out for? Thanks! If this is the wrong section, sorry! Wasn't sure where to post it. Report this Post to the Staff

Quality always plays a big part, too, so if you have pre-40s coins that are in particularly good condition, set those aside too. Are you starting a collection of Wheat Cents, wanting to sell, or what? Also, DO NOT clean any coins; it ruins value. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 11/25/2015 07:26 am To CCF You should look out for any mint marked Wheat cent 1909 to 1918 . Also 1922 ''NO D ''. 1924-D, 1926-S ,and 1931-s. and like ''Biedercoins'' points out any high grade wheat from the 40's down. Now error coins is another phase of going through all of them. DD/O, DD/R, RPM .BIE'S ( DIE CHIPS ) Cuds ,ETC.. Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 11/25/2015 10:35 am The "big four" are 09-S, 09-S VDB, 14-D, and 31-S. The next tier in my opinion is 22-D, 24-D, 26-S. Then, anything with an S mint mark 10-16 and 20-27 and then the D mints 11-16 and 20-27 or so. The P mints are the least valuable and for some reason 17-19 D and S are fairly common also. 31-D is also somewhat less of a common date as well. Should be a fun project!
