I moved this thread to the section for US Modern coins. All Lincoln cents are classified under modern coins. Please take a look at how coins are broken out per section.  |

The 1919, not very common to find in a roll the '44 can be found quite often.

Neither date is rare. are you talking about CRH ? If yes, then the 1919 won't be easy, but the 44 will be a common wheat obtainable from CRH.

As for value, the better the condition of the coin, the better the value. Unfortunately, those coins were well circulated and have a lot of wear. The 1919 is worth perhaps 15 to 20 cents and the 1944 maybe 5 cents according to NumisMedia. The interesting thing about 1944 and 1945 cents is that they were at least partially made from recycled shell cases during WWII.

When CRH, I find 1944 wheaties fairly often and 1919 wheaties once in a blue moon.

1944 pennies are not worth anything, IMHO. That one coin is probably in about 99.9999999999% of all so-called "1909-58" Wheatie boxes you get from ebay. Nothing from 1941 to 1958, with the exception of the 1943 steel pennies, is worth any kind of premium. |

Both are worth about $0.03-$0.05 apiece.

Probably wouldn't get more than a nickel each.
1944's are pretty common; I usually find 2-3 a box CRH

Save up your wheat cents; they'll gradually increase in value over time regardless of the price of copper. In a century's time, they'll certainly be numismatic items as more and more disappear and get molten down or destroyed.
