Franklin Half New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 2:43 pm Not sure if this is the right forum or not. I just found this 1918 Wheat cent that looks a little strange. (Strange to me at least.). The words "IN GOD" are in this area but look fairly weak. The back looks like any other Wheat cent. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 4:22 pm Nice find. Here's information on laminations: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=lamination I don't think they are rare. But it's not something you see every day either. Report this Post to the Staff

On the Memorial ones, they are worth less than the wheat cents. But your is a nice one. Value? Hard to come up with an exact price. Memorials about .50-$1 Wheats Probably double and triple that on good ones like yours. (I may be low though) Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 4:42 pm It should be on the higher end maybe 8-10? 1. Pretty decent shape for being 98 years old. 2. Plus it looks a little MAD (of off center) on both sides 3. Lamination Peel Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 5:28 pm Can't miss buying at face. But honestly, probably not worth very much. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 5:34 pm That is great, don't find the Wheaties too often. When I search a $25 box I usually come up with 5 or 6. Report this Post to the Staff
Franklin Half New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 09/23/2016 6:02 pm I have been consistently finding around 15 Wheats per box! Not sure if it is my area or my luck! Report this Post to the Staff
