wheat's

I can get circulated rolls of mixed wheat's for $6.00 a roll. Is that a good deal? He states he has not searched but they have been searched before has a large hoard.

Rolls of wheats are 2.50 a roll at my local coin store.Doesnt sound like a good deal to me.

This is my observation so far in buying "unsearched " wheat um...... there is no such thing. A coin shop especially is not going to sale such an item to big of a risk.

@ 12 cents each I think you would be paying close to the highest price I have ever seen per wheat cent.
10 cents each is about the highest that people normally charge. I ONLY buy when I can get them @ $1.75 per roll myself!

I paid 12.00 once at a garage sale for 10.00 face in wheaties.pulled 3 1909 wheaties and a 1914-D.I came back the next day and gave the woman 20.00 extra because I felt bad making...I think...265.00 off of her.many semi key dates.One of at least every date but no 1909-s vdb.oh well.

Most antique shops and coin shops will have rolls between $2 and $2.50 a roll. I wish the coin shop near me would put some wheat rolls back out in the case. Every roll had at least one Indian Head in it.

Wow.^^^My coin shop guarantees "old" wheats in every roll they sell.Which usually means there are 25 1958-d,20 1944,4 1943,and about 1 1937.lol

Even though you were trying to be nice, you shouldn't give her extra money. She now probably knows that she sold you some rare coin in that lot and may feel bad about it.

I was just going through those Indian Head pennies from the "wheat" rolls I bought at the coin shop, I haven't had time to sort them, and found the oldest Indian Head to be from 1876! Even in good condition it's worth $28. Now I really want the coin shop guy to put some more rolls out.
