<p>[QUOTE="Cringely, post: 1202757, member: 22271"]Nearly 10 years ago, I bought a bag (~ 250 wheaties) and mixed it with some other wheat cents I had. A couple of months later, I decided to look through the batch and found a 1931-S in EF. Net cost was 20¢. It sold on eBay last week for $102.50, the greatest percentage (51,150%) profit I've ever made on any coin. As far as the other 249 coins in the bag, I doubt if any of them were worth more than a dime.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
