<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joe Campbell, post: 8146526, member: 89857&quot;]I don’t really collect Lincoln cents but I find myself buying them more and more often. Maybe I do collect them?&nbsp; Who knows.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a lot listed as 6+ lbs of 1920’s Wheaties, lots of mint marks. Said ~900 coins which I paid up for at $75. That is way more than I would normally pay for wheats but the seller wasn’t a coin guy so I took a chance that they weren’t picked through. </p><p><br /></p><p>Question 1: How much would you guys think is a reasonable price per coin for a mystery 1920’s Wheatie lot?&nbsp; I paid about $0.08 here. </p><p><br /></p><p>After some shipping issues (package broke open in shipment and was reboxed by the USPS) and a vacation by me they finally arrived today. I am thrilled to find another pile of better date coins in reasonable condition for a great price. </p><p><br /></p><p>Breakdown on the dates / mint marks are as follows:</p><p><br /></p><p>20 - 92, D - 20, S - 20</p><p>21 - 21, S - 26</p><p>22D - 2</p><p>23 - 22, S - 7</p><p>24 - 30, D - 0, S - 35</p><p>25 - 52, D - 22, S - 22</p><p>26 - 42, D - 19, S - 4</p><p>27 - 51, D - 17, S - 27</p><p>28 - 60, D - 17, S - 37</p><p>29 - 63, D - 40, S - 55</p><p>Also had 15 coins from the 30’s and 5 from the teens including a really nice 1919-S woodie. </p><p>Total 823 coins so 9 cents each.&nbsp; I do wonder how many were lost in transit. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was actually surprised to not find a ‘24-D based on how it was going. </p><p><br /></p><p>Question 2: I assume the ‘22-D’s in the picture below qualify as a weak D and a regular ‘22-D. The weak D coin is really hard to see even a trace of the D but it is there unfortunately.&nbsp; Is there a value difference for the weaker D?</p><p><br /></p><p>Question 3: On the 1928-S’s I believe there is a large and small mint mark, with the large mark being somewhat rare. It really looks to me like I found 8 of the large S variety but I’m not at all sure. Based the pic’s below does anyone see any large S’s in there?</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said above I’m not much of a Lincoln collector so I appreciate any thoughts or opinions at all on the coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for making it through the long post. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1420844[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1420845[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1420846[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1420847[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1420848[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1420849[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1420850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1420851[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
