Where do y’all go to find what coins are being sought? Or sold for that matter.

I have tons of wheat pennies. Most varieties I believe. But how do I find out if people are in need for the collection? Might sound retarded but you don’t know unless you ask.

    Ebay. Heritage auctions. Legend auctions. Stacks Bowers. Great Collections.

    But a red book. Cherry pickers guide.

    Temper your expectations. The vast majority of wheat cents are worth 3 cents.

    Post pictures. We can provide some guidance.

    @Coolmobd Welcome. You need to check yourself and refrain from using the r word. I think you meant to say strange or unusual. Now back to the cents, are you a coin collector? You won't get a response here without close, in-focus pics of a sample coin or two. Merry Christmas. Peace Roy

    Unless they are extremely high grade, you are likely looking at 3 cents each.

    Practice with your mobile phone. I have a new fangled iPhone 7 and it takes acceptable pictures. Light and angle. I use the built in magnification around 2x -3x Regular photo not portrait ( too dang fancy ). Welcome. You can do this. I’m going to enclose a favorite picture of just a few wheaties stashed for a rainy day.
    Not mine 😉
