So...my loose Wheats have always been separated into medium size freezer zip lock bags, and then separated by decade, which are then placed into a large plastic airtight container which USED to hold all of them. A little bit ago, I weighed the bags. These are just 1950's, 1940's, and 1930's. All 1909-1929 Wheats are put into coin tubes separate by single year dates and aren't part of this. TOTAL WEIGHT =33.2 POUNDS ! --  Edited by eaglefoot

If it is $10K wheats, then you got yourself a nice $150 in melt.Darn it, slamnbass!  Lol, $75 in melt value then, although you could obviously get more buy selling them for $0.03 a piece in bulk... About $150 for 5K common wheats. Edited by ChildOfTheWheat

I calculated it and it translates to about 4846 Wheaties!

My wife just got home from work...she brought me 2 boxes of cents and a box of nickels....lol So now I will have 4 boxes of cents and 2 boxes of nickels for the weekend.... OH LAWD ! That's a lot to do "if" I get that much time to do it...  Fun happy labor of love though... P.S. I was just telling my 11 year old about the loose wheats...sigh..she wasn't impressed and thought they'd be worth HUGE money. I feel as though I'm failing in teaching her about coin collecting....  I told her that whether she likes it or not, she IS going to do a Jefferson coin folder from circulation! Maybe I should ground her until she says she likes coin collecting! ....  Edited by eaglefoot

Must have a good, STRONG wife.
