Just would like to get the members advice, I have been collecting Lincoln cents for many years and, have ended up with one complete set (sans the 09S VDB) and pretty close to a second set. Now, my problem..  ..I have 60/70 rolls of teens-20's,30's,40 & 50's wheat cents, I buy on ebay but have never sold, I could have sold a few but, the darn postage costs more than the cents are worth...oh, what to do.  Suggestions anyone? |

If you live anywhere close to Ottawa, I could pick them up if we can agree on a price.

Pick out the common circs and spread them around town . Maybe you'll drum up some interest on old U.S. cents in Canada .  |

I stopped keeping Wheaties (unless ms) unless they are about 22 or older. I just put them with all my other US coins to be taken to the bank and dumped. |

Hold on to them and let the next generation worry about it.  |

I'd hold on to the teens and twenties ones. Those might go up in value. Not sure about the 30s,40s,50s ones... maybe list them on the Craig's list equivalent in Canada?

I've got close to 11,000 common wheats with the same basic problem.

Not that much pain, other than trying to lift the boxes. It's stupid really. Just $110 face and hauling it around all these years.  |
