Re: 5 boxes of pennies yeild a large wheat feild

Ok I filled in probably 5 dates with around ten with mint luster but the king of the batch was the 1909 s

That 1909s find is awesome. Your wheatie per box average was also off the charts.

Sorry for the ignorance, but i see all these threads about wheat cents. What value do wheat cents hold right now beyond copper content? I understand some are more rare than others, so numismatics are involved. Also, what about pre-1960s cents? Are they worth anymore than their copper content? I'm into CRH strictly for the metal value, ie silver. Seems like a lot of effort and storage for copper.

Thanks

To each his own. I'm in this for both reasons. There are silver coins I find that I will never sell. With the new designs on the cent more attention is brought to the history of the coin. The wheatbacks in my opinion will increase in value over the next few years. I've also always preferred the older design too the monument.
