Wheat Penny question…..

[Fred Finder]

I didn't find a Whitman folder for just wheat cents, but they do make one for just "cents" (no dates or printing that I'm aware of) that might work.

Yes. Correct that is what I have.

Please pardon my newbnorance (trying to learn here), but wouldn't a sonic cleaner be a better method? 🤨

Or are copper coins usually in such rough shape that a little more abrasion/wear doesn't/wouldn't matter?

Now, what to do with this roll of 1943 copper wheaties? 🙄

send them to me 🤣

Great input. My great grandfather did that with his coins. I still have penny and nickel ones.

years ago I did this but so many coins I could never find, even after hundreds of wheats

I put all my Wheaties in a box, and every once in a while go through the dates to see if I can fill out a Lincoln Penny Album with just dug pennies. I'm missing most of the S and D dates but it's still a nice work-in-progress.

On the East Coast, it's hard to find S mint mark Wheaties. I guess they just didn't make their way over here.

I hear ya. Even his still had many blank spaces. Hopefully I can get it fill in more. 👍

The best thing to do is start a Whitman collection of them.

Folders are a great way to keep up interest. I currently have about 7 Lincoln cent folders going and a bunch of empties for future. I think I have folders for most 20th century denominations, although the only that are complete are my Franklin and silver Roosevelt series.

Woah! Care to post a link? I stand to profit about $1.5k.

I didn’t say I turned any in. That’s just what I was told by the owner while browsing around. Maybe B.S. IDK If you find yourself in New Mexico for any reason I’ll be glad to point you in the direction.

I clean hold on to mine. I still get excited when I dig them for some reason. I kind of imagine the time period and what was going on at that time the penny, what cars looked like etc. that’s just me lol.

I got exited over a £1 coin which got changed in 2016 I think. Was super happy finding that on a beach 🤣

Merf,
Do you want to trade my 62 wheat Pennie’s for that CSA button you found?
🤪 That was one hell of a find. It needs to be up on the banner train. 👍

Wheats stopped in 58
