    Assuming that you've have, of course, searched them all for errors, varieties, rare mintage populations, etc., and finding none; plus the current condition they are in, maybe a $1 or $2 if they are all common date and mints, and are well below AU condition.

    Just common wheat cents don't fetch much. At my local coin shop the owner pays 2.5 cents a piece and he then sells them for 4 to 8 cents. If you sold them via ebay you could expect to get somewhere around 4 to 6 cents a piece but shipping is difficult. On the other hand the indian heads will bring more, they are commonly sold for around 50 cents to a dollar on ebay.

    common date, bulk indians go for about a buck a piece on ebay. Wheats, maye 3 times face on a good day.

    I believe you've asked this question in the past, correct? Regardless, for 40's and 50's only bulk wheat cents, you're looking at $0.02-$0.03 tops unless you can find some collector wishing to dig through them. If rolled out retail you may be able to pull around $0.05, but is likely a waste of time. Regardless of how you sell, be very clear that there are no earlier dates.

    As for the IHCs, I can only assume that you're talking common/average and likely late date circs. If offered to a dealer, don't expect more than $0.25-$0.50 ea, and this is if they will buy them at all... some won't. As a mixed lot of low grade coins in varying states of preservation, you would probably be doing well if offered $100. If you're able to sell to a collector and/or offer individually or in small lots on ebay, you're likely to get more, but again there will be lots of work for little added reward.

    your prolly better grouping them in to year run bags so collectors and fill holes in sets and selling them like that

    You have $360 face value in Wheat cents and 450 IHCs. It looks like about $900 for the Wheat cents and about $150 for the IHCs.
