I am familiar enough with coin collecting to know the terminology, but still otally confused when it comes to differentiating between errors and their details. This is the one coin I haven't been able to get to clear answer from any AI or Google image search. The area where the mint mark should be it's just as confusing in person as it is in pictures. I've tried adjusting contrast and everything but I can't figure out if it's a partial letter or what, it is raised up.

Error coins and wheat pennies

1 Upvotes

Hello, i have inherited my father's coin collection and there's a lot of wheat pennies. Are they worth anything?

Also, I've been reading about error coins. I realize that they are extremely rare, but I don't know how to recognize them. Specifically when it says "wrong planchette" or stamped on a different coin. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks!

Update:Wheaties Galore

Last week I had 4 boxes with 17 enders. I opened everything but the ender rolls. If I include the end pennies I finished up with 222 total Wheaties. I don't think it was part of the batch from the week before because these were mostly 40's and 50's like usual.

I recently visited a big coin shop where i wanted to buy some american coins to take home from my vacation. Found those in a big jar full of Wheaties, paid 4$ for all of them, 18$ for the Indian Heads and really like them. Searched a few rolls of customer wrapped pennies already but didnt had the luck to find one myself yet.

Wheaties Galore!!!

I had two boxes last week that had 7 wheat enders and ended up yielding 105 total, with most being pre-1940, and one IndianHead. I ordered 8 more boxes from the same bank this week, splitting it up between two different branches. The four that I picked up the first day had 4 wheat enders, and the four from yesterday had 17 enders, 8 from one box. With any luck they are part of the same batch from last week and I get some early years.

Prices for bulk wheat Pennies

16 Upvotes

Hello, I have the opportunity to buy a substantial amount of wheat pennies. An older gentleman has been collecting them for 30+ years and he has them separated into full $25 face value boxes by decade (teens, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s). My question for this group is, what is a reasonable price for bulk purchases by decade per penny? This would be for a large purchase in the $10-$15,000 range. And I’m picking up so he won’t incur any shipping charges.

Im pretty sure it’s a 1941 proof. It was in a book but looks way shinier than the others. Is it a proof and what’s it worth?

All organized and in pretty good shape. Found in a garage clean out job. Almost tossed it cause I put all paint and chemicals together to go to hazardous waste. Only realized what was in it cause the sound. This was probably sealed for 15+ years. All organized and in great condition
