These are their words. Guaranteed all wheat cents in a sealed bag. But if you open the bag they are non-refundable.

The silliness from these guys never ends!

I rarely react, when it comes to numismatic marketing.

I prefer to go looking for my own bargains, and to look for opportunities to be discovered, rather than opportunities that are pushed onto me.

Herkimer: Buy a bag count them and let us know how many are in a bag.

But wait! There's more!

If you order in the next 15 minutes, we'll through in a set of Ginsu knives for only $9.99. Watch them cut right through this silver dollar as if it was butter and they are still sharp enough to slice this tomato.

Herkimer, Copper cents weight 3.11 grams each give or take, depending on it's original weight within mint tolerance, and how much circulation it's seen.
there's about 145 copper cents per pound.

and for Zinc cents it's approx. 180 cents per pound because they are lighter to start with.

A bag of 5 pounds would contain 725 copper cents approximately, probably a little more because of the worn coins, and that's IF they weigh it legitimately when packaging and it's not underweight

These guys got a marketing name for everything "Lakeland Bankers Hoard" hahaha A simple internet search shows you just how famous that "hoard" was! Nada.

My fault, didn't see the "5 LB" in the bottom left of the screen. If they had been $50 bags I would have been looking for the station lol.

Here's the problem with this stuff. 1) If they are unsearched how do they know they are all wheats? 2) What good is a guarantee they are all wheats if you open the bag and find a bunch of slugs, but can't return them once the bag is opened? On the same show they made the statement that the largest US coin in circulation in 1906 was the Barber half. They also had a few other "whoppers" of misinformation. I only watch this stuff to be entertained by their silliness -- my favorite part is when they drop the coins on the floor.

Un-searched wheat cents are within the fabled city of El Dorado.
