Hard to say bc I can't see the coins you have. I wouldn't expect much though. Do you have the 55 DDO? Philly mint has made billions and billions of wheaties. Can you post us some pics?

Completed sets won't mean as much to potential buyers. Most will buy only to cherrypick and upgrade their own collection. The rest will only be popped out of their books to be sold as group lots. If you want to maximize the value then sell the mint condition/high grade ones individually and sell the rest as a mixed lot. Ditch the book.

The S and D mints are the valuable wheats. A complete set of P won't be worth much.








the s and d mints are harder to find still about 25 for s mint and 75 for the d mint, that would complete the 2 sets

As posted before me, a P mint set doesn't carry a lot of value, and problem coins hurt them even more. It's difficult to give a value based on the information and image alone.

Sorry but I can't make out what it might be, I can see a slight shadow or something. I doubt it being as S.

I see the "s" between the 1 and 9. I have never even heard of this type of error in that location, so my best guess is an imperfection in the alloy which coincidentally looks a lot like a ghost mint mark. Or you have a million dollar coin.

I see the 's' easily in the first picture. As Capndan 151 mentioned, it could be some imperfection on the planchet. (Yeah, I used a loupe)
