i must have 100 pounds of them from my early collecting days and am thinking of selling some off, just wondering what theyll fetch.
Interesting you say that I was thinking of buying some on ebay would rather do business with someone here. I don't know a good price but might be interested. Ice
Some firms do separate them by dates and mint marks. A mixture of all dates and mm will have a predominance of 1950, followed in sequence down to 09-19. It might seem that separated ones are a better deal, but it is much more likely to have been "searched" for the good date/mm and you will end up with a lot of the common for each period. Jim
We generally pay 2 cents each where I work. However if you have 100 pounds we'd probably pay 3 cents each. A bag of 5000 weighs about 35 pounds so you're saying you have nearly 15,000. Triple your money if you can.
Coin dealers I typically go to have been doing 3-5 cents depending on condition. The earlier the year the better the price. Including the small errors, semi key dates, if I have doubles of, etc,etc. However, to make it easier on me and him I do typically seperate the 20's,30's,40's etc,etc
My initial reaction is that you will find dealers willing to pay two to three cents per coin, which might be quite fair if you want to be out of them quickly and easily. The down side is that you may be offered less if the dealer is currently swamped with Wheat cents.
Local dealer here pays $1.50 per roll [3 cents each]. He does not open the rolls or look at any coins. He accepts them in any condition, scratched, damaged, corroded, black carbon spots, still 3 cents each. I got rid of all my culls and green moldy ones. Keeping the good ones.
Im curious, it looks like the answer was given for 40s-50s commons, but what if someone has a bunch of rolled pre-40s wheats? What is a going rate for those? I've heard 8-10x is fair for a selling price?
Last year at the Brimfield antique show an old lady dealer told me she has no problem selling rolls for $4 each.
