    There are a number of key dates in that time frame. Condition of the coins will really determine value.

    But if I told you I got a nickel in change, you would know that I don't have any Pennys or cents??? BTW this one is a Proof.

    I wonder if one of the TPG's would grade your penny?

    Welcome Daniel, like @wxcoin says...and the '09 S- VDB is "the key" to any Wheatie collection.

    I know you are just joshing me, really? You should read up on the 1883 Liberty nickle.Not only is it a good story but I'll bet my nickle is worth slightly more than your pickle, Hahaha!

    Thanks fish. I don't have the key. Bummer! :) I'll deal for it somehow.

    I would call the 1914-D a key as well; especially in higher grades. The 1909 - 1915 S mint coins are also valuable; especially in higher grades. Did she have the 1922 no D? That coin can be as valuable as the1909-S VDB

    What do think the grades are for these coins? A higher grade 14-D can push $1000. The early S mints can bring over $100 each in decent grades.

    I'm new to this, I really don't know about grades and such.

    Let me put it differently, then. There are pickles, and there are...nickels. :)

    They are not UNC but they are in reasonably good shape.

    There are several good books on how to grade Lincoln cents. The one I use is the "Grading Standards for United States Coins by the American Numismatic Association".

    Do I have to buy it or can I look this up online or the library?

    If anybody wants a wheat penny for a collection, let me know. I have about 1500 of them dated in the 40s and 50s (let's say 40 thru 59) just to be clear.

    Daniel, check your 44's for a D/S (D over S) and 46's for an S/D...do you have a 10X loupe? If not, I's suggest you invest in one...about $10 bucks.

    Mom also gave me an 1858 Flying Eagle penny of fairly good condition. What might it be worth?
