It would depend on each individual coin. Take the 1943 copper Wheat cent for example. The 43S in AU58 has a FMV $275.000. The most valuable IHC in the same grade would be the 1888/7, which comes in at $21,880, more than 10 times lower in value.

Cannot tell without knowing which dates and what grades we are comparing.

I'll answer your question if you'll answer mine first:

Which is more valuable, your car or my car?

Which town is bigger, the one you live in or the one I live in?

How many rocks will fit in a jar?

As a general rule, common average circ Indian Head cents are worth more than common average circ wheat cents.

Sorry, I should have been more specific :/ what I meant is, is the AVERAGE Indian Head cent (most common date, and grade) is more valuable than the AVERAGE Wheat penny (most common date, most common grade)or vice versa. thank you to all for answering and I'm very sorry for not being more specific, I meant more IN GENERAL.

That clarifies it a lot! Average circulated wheats go for 2 to 3 cents per head of the most common dates, while G-AG IHCs of the most common 1900's dates command nearly a dollar each.

Those are really easy.
My Car
My town for sure
Depends on if you poverize the rocks or try just one big rock.

To attempt to answer that question, I say sort of which ever one you like best is the most valuable.
If you like one more than the other, that one wins.
