    EyeEatWheaties Cent Hoarder

    Check out this seller dumping roll after roll of early wheaties. I am sure they are mostly AG -VG along with culls so I wouldn't bid. Check out his feedback and how many he has sold.

    I thought I had a alot - would love to see the size of this hoard. Has to be over a million. I somewhere near a 1/2 million, however I would be hard press to put together rolls like this. I mean whole rolls of 21s? 13d 09vdb etc etc wow!

    Very impressive and his feedback is not that bad for old rolls, with good feedback from several people who buy a lot of coins. I do however agree on your estimate of grade or he would be breaking up these early date rolls.

    I thought I had a lot of wheats at around 25,000. 1/2 million is impressive.

    Good prices too, might be time to sell some rolls!

    Yea, I seen some rough ones, but there are also good ones from some buyers I am familiar with. I believe it's an honest to goodness crapshoot. Of course people are gonna bawl around and leave negs if they don't get anything good. I have a gambling personality so I'll roll the dice. At worst I get $10 in silver bullion and lots of fun searching wheaties. I hit a good one with one of these Buffalo Nickel lots last week, so I'm feeling lucky anyway. It's $40, I've lost much more, much faster at the racetrack lol.

    That doesn't look like such a solid deal to me, frankly...

    Yeah but if you knew the horse was going to lose would you still bet? :) That is what this looks like to me. Me - I would save the $40 and get online (like tcg) account. That is fun on occasion. :) In any case your money - good luck!

    Maybe he's charging for the labor to put these rolls together. I've sold a Lb. of wheaties for $10 with a good spread of '09s to 19's; 20 thru 29s; 30s thru 39; 40's thru 58.. There were 157 coins to the lb. I thought that this was fair as I sold them thru Craigslist and there was no fees. I still had to spend time & $ to meet these people. Every one of them were (yns) nice to meet and grateful for a really good deal. The wheaties were wrapped in a red velvet square and tied so it looked elegant. Everyone was happy with the deal.
