<p>[QUOTE="pennyholic, post: 765959, member: 21498"]Buying wheats is for fun and I do it sometimes. I slowed down doing it over the years due to too many common coins. I just recently sold many tubes that I sorted over the years on Craigslist and the story goes like this. First I tried to sell individual dates and mm rolls for a certain price like 3-4 cents for common dates. Then 5-6 cents each for certain s mint rolls which were some nice 49-51s ones. I got very few takers due to the coins being sorted as everyone wants the thrill of the hunt. So two weeks later I run an ad for wheats which I state maybe searched at some point for 4 cents each. I got many responses and ended up selling over 5000 wheats. I created a batch using common wheats and some s mints. So in the end I got more money this way and got rid of many common wheats and ended up shipping the s mints to a dealer. Just another point some of these coins I bought over 20 years ago for 2-3 cents each and ended up selling for 4 cents each so wheats are not a good investment period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
