Coin values depend on the condition of the coin and of course what you can get somebody to pay for them. One source I found listed the 47 D in MS 67 at $800 and the 41 at $415 in MS 67 and a whopping $13,000 in MS 68. HOWEVER, keep in mind those are only values that particular source shows, and the prices are for a coin that looks like it just came from the mint. Perfect condition and no marks whatsoever. Can't say without pics, but if they're in the condition of most wheaties I find, probably about a nickel apiece. There were some obverse double die errors on a very few the 41 mintage that increases value. For better info, post some pics in the Coins forum.

2 cents each

Yes unfortunately the majority of Wheat cents that are or were in circulation will only bring 2 to 3 cents each.
no matter what the books say.

exceptions would be 1922 no mint mark, 1909-S VDB, a real Copper 1943, a real Steel 1944 & a 1955 Double Die.

there may be one or 2 other early ones I'm missing but the best thing about wheats is If your Digging them,
there is a very good chance there is silver there

I know what you're saying I did find a 1964 silver coin in the same location a dime on a or earlier hunt and now I have a new metal detector in finding e targets I hunted the same area that I did before with the old dector and I even found a silvercross which I have in another post
