Very nice finds. I've spent days with lesser finds than that. Congrats.

nothing rare, but I never consider any wheatie "garbage", especially older wheats. If nothing else they tell you you have a good site you are hunting, and there is a great chance of silver in the area. Good finds and welcome to tnet!!!

Just recently I went through my mom's coin collection she had hundreds of Wheaties. I decided to look into the fact if they were worth anything. If u do a google search for "value of coins", I belive the second site on the
list is Price Guide -PCGS, and u can look up every year that was made and where it was minted. Some of the dates will list a time where that coin was once auctioned. I was amazed with how many of the lower dated Wheat pennies went for $600 to over 2K in some occasions, I believe the price differences were due to condition of the coin.

I will go all 'Zen' here and ask -
"did you find them in the garbage?"
Cheers, mike

There all worth at least a penny. Some key dates, which I don't know which ones, are worth more. The "S" San Francisco mint ones versus the "D" Denver mint ones seem to be worth more from what I know. There are alot of D's and not many S's in circulation during the time.

1909-S - 1.8 million $45

1922 (No mint mark) - unknown (D is missing) $415

there will be days when you'll consider finding those old wheaties " a great day". the old ones are nice, and as was said before, those old wheats are probably near silver. good luck !!!
