I would never spend it, just becuase it's worth 2 cents dosnt mean it's no cool. Unless 1 centis too much to withhold from spending for you  | |

I'd keep it...I have probably 3 pounds of common wheaties...not too valuable but fun to find and keep. And it's only 1 cent...can't buy much with that nowadays!

Definitely keep it. It's not worth a fortune, but the 1930s wheat cents show up less frequently than the 1940s and 1950s wheat cents.

1935 wheats are common. there only worth 3 cents, but still neat! rules of coin collecting 1.never spend any cent 1958 and older 2.never spend any nickel 1959 and older. 3. never spend any dimes or quarters 1964 and older. 4.never spend any half dollar 1970 and older. also look out for S mintmarks on coins. these are proofs, and sometimes can be worth some money. not all s mintmarks are proofs though.

Perhaps one of the forum members who collect US coins can give us the exact changeover date.
