How many wheat pennies do you have?

The vast majority have been worth about 2c each for years.

I have about thirty thousand wheats.

 

I like this page to visualize what a bunch of pennies looks like:

30,000 pennies is less than one cubic foot. This image comes from the above link and shows almost 50,000 pennies.

 

That looks neat!

 

I'd never get tired looking through wheats I bought from a noncollector. Who knows what you could find? However, I don't do much roll searching anymore, so I guess I understand. I got a small jar with 1-2 thousand. Kinda cool to look at. There are many from each decade, but I think I took out any coin worth more than a dollar

 

What did you do with the ones worth more than a dollar?

 

I have so many that my trailer house sunk in the ground. I can only get out the back door anymore. It does make security a little better.

 

That's a little concerning.

 

I put those in 2x2 holders. I got a binder going and have most of the dates and mint marks. Then I have a metal box holding the duplicates.

 

Oh. What are some of the good ones you found

 

I don't have the keys, like the 1914 d or 1931 s, and of course the 1909 s vdb. But I got just about most other semi-keys. However, the more valuable or lower mintage ones I have are in lower circulated grades. I got so many sets going its hard to really work on one. And I collect mainly world coins. For instance, I got British large cents going, Canadian nickels 1920s-1950, FAO coins, etc. it's fun, to say the least

 

I have about 16,200 rolled wheat pennies...

 

What years would be considered semi-key dates?

 

1909 VDB, 1910-s, 1911-D, 1912 s, 1913 s, 1914 s, 1915 s, 1922 d, 1924-s, 1924 d, 1926 s. Those are the main ones I think of as semi- keys.

 

Some of the early D's might count as well.

 

Jez, I honestly don't know! If you add in my memorial cents, I venture to say 50,000+.....too many. I spent the last few years paring it down by selling spares. I still have many I want to sell.

 

I have a 1922 d got it for a dollar and a 1909 VDB for ten dollars.

 

From 1909 through 1958 I have 141.

 

thats all of them isn't it?

 

Wait wait wait your missing one. Let me guess 1909 s vdb
