$50 CWR'S of pennies.

DaMangRon · Dec 13, 2015

Hey guys, haven't posted in this thread for quite awhile. Just not much to report....a lot of blanks or maybe a 40%er or two. But this week when I went to the bank to pick up my weekly coin order the teller told me she's got 2 boxes ($50) in pennies that a customer turned in. Sure...I'll take em!

I cannot believe it, but they look to be ALL wheats! Yup....5000 of em, gonna take me 2 or 3 weeks to go through them all. Looks like mostly 40's and 50's but there a bunch of steelies so I hope that's a good sign

Congrats! A large amount of wheaties at face value. Absolutely awesome!

TorqueMaster · Dec 13, 2015

Always like the customer wrapped coins. Never know what treasure awaits. Congrats on the Wheatie jackpot.

That is huge!

Looks like someone dumped their copper collection, not knowing that wheaties carry a premium? Congrats -

The Lincoln Wheat cent was "Coin of the month" for the social group, Ground Found Coins. This link provides most key and semi-key dates. Good luck!

Yup...it sure it! I can only search for about an hour at a time before my eyes hurt and I start seeing double. I even have a large lighted magnifier!

About halfway through...nothing good so far...all 40's and 50's.

I'm sure that pile has been gone through not sure if there any rare dates from the 40's 50's anyway maybe a double die 55

I came pretty close to dumping my common wheats at the bank, but gave them to a relative instead. Late dates, of common mintages, in circulated or more likely heavily circulated condition, are only worth $0.01

The only promising sign is that there were steelies in the mix. Usually collectors will cull them out, even if they have little value.

Finding silver can be profitable, but all those coppers are just good ol fun!

Copper hoarders might go 2 cents each. Nuts copper is down, ok 1.3 cents each.
