Lincoln Wheats

Send them to me?

I have a lot, too. I thought about making piles, like teens, twenties, thirties and so forth. Rolling em up, and then labeling them. That way they are somewhat organized. Right now they are just sitting in a coffee tin.

Well, seeing as your new to the forum, we have loads upon loads of Wheat cent threads that I invite you to read. This forum will give you all the information you'll ever need on any coin question you might have. So read up a little, see what other people are doing, and then do whatever you want with your excess wheats.

If you want to sell them right now, then go on ebay or get 50 posts and try selling them right here on the forums. Wheats that are 40's and 50's in typical circulated condition are worth about Three Cents a piece (excluding 1943 steelies).

If you want to wait, then go ahead and wait. They're not going to do anything but go up in value. But don't plan on making a retirement out of them becuase like I said their only Three Cents apiece now and they haven't made any for fifty years.

HOWEVER, there is the theory that cent prices are about to rise dramatically due to 2009 being the 100 year aniversay of the Lincoln Cent and the 200 year aniversary of lincolns birth. The mint for this occasion is issuing commerative cents like they did with the quarters and nickels. Basically, a lot more attention is going to be placed on the cent, but we wont know for sure what type of effect its going to have on the market until 2009 rolls around.

Thanks for all the great input. Since, I personally don't know any coin collectors, this forum is great place to learn.

I think I have at least 3,000 from the 40's and 50's. Plus I have several 1909's and almost every year from 1909-1958, with the exception of the key-dates. I also have lots of 2008 P&D BU rolls.

I have about 20 1909's with and without the VDB, some are BU and some are circulated. The VDB "S" is too expensive for my budget right now.
