    Try a dealer in your town...
    I wouldn't pay more than $0.05 each.
    A roll around here would sell for $2.50 and a bag of $50 worth would sell for about $250.00
    Try ebay.

    BTW--if you are think about reselling them I don't think it would be too much of a profit for you.
    They seem to sell for $0.05 each and the dealers seem to buy them at $0.03-$0.04 each.

    Good luck...just because they say "unsearched" doesn't mean they weren't searched by the current owner, but rest assure, 99% of these unsearched lots were probably cherry picked many times and many years before.

    Watch out for:

    "Found in a old bank vault"
    "I don't know too much about coins, but I have been asked to liquidate this estate."
    "Old grocer's stash of coins...never searched!"
    "Retired banker's pickel barrel full of mixed coins!"
    "Found in a floor board in an old house"
    "1909S VDB, 1914-D, 1931-S, 1922 Plain all found"
    "Read My Feedback...1000's of satisfied customers."
    "Found in an old lady's attic/basement"

    How do I know they were cherry-picked? Well, yours truly and a number of us collectors went through 1000's of Lincolns in the 60 and 70's...and they soon became "unserached" for the next person.

    I would agree that most lots of "unsearched" wheat cents have probably been searched at one point or another, but rest assured, there are quite a few that have not been.

    As a dealer I often purchase coins from "hoarders." These individuals simply collected vasy quantities of whatever struck their fancy, be it wheat cents, roosevelt dimes, jefferson nickels, etc. In most cases, the individuals knew little about coins and never really had an interest in acquiring more knowledge. Often when I purchase from these folks I DO NOT SEARCH everything, there is just not enough time in the day. If I purchase a large quantity of say, wheat cents, from them I will often break it up into smaller "bags" and sell it out as unsearched.

    So, they are out there. May not be all that common, but they are out there.

    Buy rolled coins from the bank and search them for wheat cents, then post and tell us your findings...

    the thrill of the hunt...

    My local dealer sells rolls for $1.50. He doesn't always have them, but it never hurts to ask.
