I have a friend who passed last Thanksgiving 2017 and his his brother has foiund several pounds of wrapped and sorted wheat pennies by various years. I assume that most are circulated Coins.
With that said, would a collector be interested in the lot, beyond face value..
Or is this the correct forum for this type of question?
 

Of course, collectors would be interested. From what you described, the expectation would be that they have been searched/sorted so depending on whether they are common wheaties (40s-50s) or if they are earlier would dictate the price. Common wheat cents sell for about 3 cents each. For early wheats (teens/twenties), I get about 9 cents a wheat. That is again for common dates.
 

Say did if it is no a wheat jus copper is 2 a fair price per?

Several pounds (2?) would only be about 300 Lincoln cents since there are about 150 pcs. per pound for copper ones.
A search on Ebay has them going for about 1.5 - 2 cents each.
 

I would buy unsearched rolls of wheats if truly unsearched
 

My bad.
For some reason I missed the "wheat" part of the description. Wheat cents go for 3-5 cents each for common circulated brown ones.
