They'll keep you busy sorting. I have 1,605 of them. Doing quite well sitting in rolls.

Best bet is study up on grading and determine the grades yourself. Or post clear pictures of some of the better ones for opinions here. While they are nice coins I don't see anything worth enough to justify having them professionally graded.

Agreed. It's the one's with mint marks, like a 1914D is what you want. Even a 1924 with the D mint mark is a much rarer coin.

I have lots of Wheaties, there was a time I collected them , must have hundreds. Never sold any. Dont think i have any that are worth more then a few bucks though. Then again I haven't looked at them in years.

Get yourself the current "U S RED BOOK", you will be able to self grade the coins you think have any value. Proceed from there. Good luck on eating your WHEATIES.
