[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1865280, member: 75105"]Two cents each is kind of a low ball. I can sell them all day long at flea markets for 5 cents each in rolls. I buy them at 3 cents each. Heck the copper in them alone is worth 2.15 cents each. I don't mean any disrespect by saying this, but some places like to take advantage of women. They were probably hoping you would sell the whole batch of them for 2 cents each and they could pass off to you that they were all worthless common wheat cents. The best thing you can arm yourself with is an education, and I'm glad to see that you have been reading the books. BTW, UNC stands for Uncirculated, which means coins that have not been used in change. I'm going to give you some links. The 1st one is an online price guide and can allow you to get a estimate of what they are worth. [url]http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/lnccnt/pricesgd.shtml[/url] The next one is a website that will allow you to grade the coins you have. [url]http://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Lincoln/Grades[/url] It appears your husband (of which I'm sorry to hear that you lost) did the satisfaction of keeping the dates separate which is going to make it alot easier. BTW, if you find these dates- 1909-S, 1909-S VDB, 1914-D, 1922 No mint mark, and 1931-S, I highly suggest you keep those out. Depending on what those grade (if you find any), they might be worth sending into a company that grades them professionally, as just a tiny bit in grade difference can mean hundreds of dollars.[/QUOTE]
