    All of the years are years I already have in my wheat penny books. I have one of each year saved.

    Heck, every time I get a Wheat cent I still chuck it back into a jar. I think they're cool.

    I have two bags that both have over 5000 each. They started out as normal bags, and I keep adding to them. I am with Tom, I still pull any wheat cent and keep them.

    Unless you have searched them thoroughly, I would save them. If your sure you've found all varieties, then dump them to someone who buys wheat cents.

    Yeah I was wondering if I should sell it and get something elts.
    Chris you do a good job at telling people what answer choice they should have included in polls, but that's not a bad thing.

    This is why I asked the question. To know if I should get something better.

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    You could keep them in an empty Wheaties box. Breakfast of Champions. I don't really get it. 50 years from now will people be hoarding Memmies? Or just the pre-1982 ones? Wait, that's right. 50 years from now the zinc ones will be piles of oxidized metal.
