<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 2111062, member: 58633&quot;]I have between 5000 and 10,000. Half or more are wheatiies.</p><p>Plan to save more, so my kids can sell them for $1 and up to future collectors.</p><p>Nowadays, you cant do a Lincoln set from pocket change. You have to buy Wheaties in bulk to fill your albums. My $50 bag of Wheaties cost me $75. Now its $220.</p><p>&nbsp;Look in Coinage magazine, or on Ebay, and there are lots of people selling common date stuff for a bit over face value.</p><p>&nbsp;One day, they will stop minting these coins. Many will be melted, and the remaining ones will slowly accrue in value. What does a common date large cent go for in Fine? $30?</p><p>&nbsp;Copper trades at too low a value. You would have to deal in tons of it to realize any useful profits. Its not bulk metal value that makes them valuable, although that is the whole reason for a coins existence. It is the individual coin collector value that will make these coins worth a premium&nbsp; one day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
