[QUOTE="Midas, post: 52071, member: 2761"]Considering almost 28,000,000 1909 VDB's were minted and many more hoarded due to its first year release, they are fairly common. A 1909 VDB in EF40 condition fetches around $5. The key is finding those early "common" wheats in MS condition or above. Market forces come into play and the prices really take off beyond MS60. Now finding wheat cents with mintage figures below 10,000,000 in "unsearched" lots would really impress me. Could it happen? Of course it could! You just have to weigh your cost, time, effort and what to do with those wheat cents now in your position. I have a pickle gallon jar half full with wheaties. I guess they will end up as "unsearched lots" on eBay someday. As to was it worth it? If you spend $40 and only find a $5 coin...or even if it were graded MS60 (now worth $10), was that a good return on your investment? Think about it...
