coaster Pillar of the Community Australia 1364 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 09:22 am I have the opportunity to buy 105 different wheat pennies dating from 1909-1958 (see below). I'm not sure of their precise condition but each is in a labelled 2x2 and overall they look ok from what I can see in the general photos. I'm wondering if they are worth buying at US73.31 (today's rate)? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 09:33 am @coaster, even sight unseen, for sure some of these cents are going to be worth less than $0.73 each. It is going to be the condition of a couple semi-keys which will make this a good deal or a bad deal. I would pay closest attention to the condition of the 1922D and 1932P cents.

jafo50 Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 2:24 pm $73.31 is not that bad of a price but as stated above buying sight unseen is not a good idea. Report this Post to the Staff

jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 2:41 pm Based on the info you have provided, I would not pay more than 3 cents apiece, that's if I wanted them. Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 4:20 pm Probably not. Maybe worth 1/3 to 1/2 that if they are in average circulated condition (G-VG-F). My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff

bzookaj Pillar of the Community United States 587 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 7:34 pm From that I see in the pictures, these look like the type I see from sellers at shows in buckets for ten cents apiece. Though I will grant getting them down under may add a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
