    In addition to my Wheat cent collection housed in an album I have a small bag of loose wheaties (appox 50). Should I add to that pile since the cent will cease production.

    Wheat cents ceased production 66 years ago. I don’t see how ceasing production of the zinc junk affects wheat cents much.

    If you plan on making money on this, don’t! My LCS pays three cents for wheat cents. Spend your money by buying what you need to plug all the holes!

    Been saving all I find for years... they only cost me face value. Now I have about 4 rolls worth and not sure what to do with them all lol.

    Nicer ones I use for upgrades to my Lincoln cents album, or keep them separately in my random US coins album.
