Please List The Key Wheaties And Memorials

Someone will proabably come on and give you a detailed answer, but here is what I do:

1. Save anything 1940 and earlier - any condition (actually, I only save pre-1930 since most 1930's are pretty common)
2. Anything pre-1995 that's AU or better
3. As far as varieties/errors, etc. I pay attention to:

a. 1943 (all mints) zinc penny - doesn't really command a premium, but unusual
b. 1955 double die
c. 1960 and 1960-D small date
d. 1970-s small date.
e. A lot of people automatically save "S" mint date coins. It's true they have lower mintages, but for later dates they really aren't worth any more....

There are a whole BUNCH of errors/varieties out there. https://www.coppercoins.com lists most if not all of them.

the only memorials that are worth a premium are die varieties, so look for repunched mint marks and doubled dies. 1960, and 1970S small dates are good too.

for wheat cents, save everything 1933 and before. there are several that are not worth a premium, but the majority of them are.

thanks everyone
