Do you save your extra wheat cents?

kamehameha00

I keep them in a little black box, so far I got over 250 of them.

Yes I do I cant seam to let them go back into circulation. But I did sell all of my wheats last year for 3.5 cents each at the flea market.

I have a baggie-full sitting on my desk. Believe it or not, that's what got me back into collecting after a long hiatus. Bought some "unsearched" wheaties on Ebay 5 years ago thinking I'd fill some holes in a Whitman folder I had from childhood. Believe it or not, I did fill some of the holes! Now what should I do with the bag of unsearched () leftovers?

indianabyron

Ill take them Barry.

I had about $25 worth of them a few years back that I saved for about 30 years. Finally I cashed them in & put the money toward a single
coin I wanted for my collection.

At the local coin shop today, they had approximately 100,000 wheat cents. I don't really know what they were doing with them either, somebody came in off the street and sold them a bunch. I pickup up a handful and the oldest I saw was 1918. It was a lot of wheat cents.

Anyone else?

I just counted out 13,900. They're going on Ebay for whatever I can get for them.
I never could get interested in pennies.

I also can't seem to return them back into circulation.

mdwoods

I save wheaties. Probably should be hoarding all copper cents.

anablep

I have about 6 dated rolls of wheat cents I have found in circulation over the years. I save them. I went through them the other day and found three with some nice luster and in better condition than the rest that I pulled from the rolls and will set aside in a holder.

mercurynut

I have an antique bottle I keep them in.

MadMarty

I pull all I can find, I have about 30 pounds minus the 1930 I gave to IndianaBryan.

Absolutely not! If they don't fill an album hole, they get thrown back into circulation.
I'd rather put that money towards a nice coin or something useful.
