@@davidburgess9401 Wheat Cents that were minted 1934 and earlier generally have more value due to lower mintage numbers (Population). I would recommend getting a red book to see what the numbers are. I can tell you that 1909 S VDB, 1914 D, 1931 S are all key dates. 1910 S-1915 S, 1923 S, 1926 S are all semi key dates. 1922 D with as well as without D are valuable errors
For $50.00 I believe that is a great deal. Those early dates including the 1909 and the vdb justified the purchase. I've been going through a box and I found 45 wheat cents. 5 of them are 1958 uncirculated. Denver and Philadelphia. Technically i have alot of 1958 uncirculated. But still nice to find. One 1943 steel no mint mark. I have 4 rolls to go.
Great job Rob. I love me some wheaties. I recall when I had my store a customer pain with 535 pennies in a tin. Nothing newer than 1936 including 10 indian head cents. They're still in the tin.
When you said you paid $50 for that - and it had about six rolls in it - I thought you overpaid. That's about 16 cents per wheatie. When I buy wheaties in bulk, I usually pay 3-5 cents each - but they never have the variety of years and mint marks that you had. I think you got a really sweet deal there! I would have been happy with that purchase - and going with your gut paid off!. Another great video!
I am kinda knew, puttering lately with collecting. Your video breathed life and excitement into re-evaluating to go further!! Thank you so much! Your excitement is contagious my friend and I so appreciate it. There's many channels with great information, and appreciate them. But you are a ball of REAL life fire for those who are learning, dabble or on fence on "is this really worth the while"? YOU are the real deal my friend! Showing us finds are certainly attainable!
My grandad got me collecting wheats decades ago. They were still fairly common in pocket change until the 80's. This video reminded me that it's time to pass my gallon of unsearched wheats on to the grandkids.
You did a great job!.....Upgrading with your backstock, etc was a good idea too...That tin was from someone who dump alot of their coins from a few albums, which is fine. You got your moneys worth and some more. I still enjoy doing this, by the way I started in 1957, almost 70 years ago. My mother gave me a buck, a $1 Silver certificate, to go to the meat market and buy a couple lbs of hamburger meat, probably 35 0r 39c per lb. I got a 1912-S wheat cent as the only cent I got back, and it looked old. It was a decent vg. still have it in that blue 35c Lincoln album, fast forward to 1958, my next door neighbor who was born in the 1800's and collected coins, gave me a 1909-s cent, for my birthday on June 6, that he found in the Sunday offering plate at his church. He was the treasurer for the church so he had great access to all the change. So that was the coin bug that bite me almost 70 yrs ago in Calif. Good luck with your collecting and videos!
I absolutely LOVED reading this comment. Thank you for making my night. My story started in 1982, when I got a 1935 Buffalo nickel back in change. I thought I had won the lottery 😂. It was in nice shape and I decided to collect Buffalo nickels and wheat Pennies. Have a great evening and thank you again for sharing your story with us all.
My sister and I were playing under an old oak tree in front of our church. She found a 1916-D mercury dime. We traded it back and forth for years. I ended up doing lots of chores to finally obtain it for good! We didn’t have any idea it was a rare coin, we just thought it was cool looking. I still have it today in my Dansco Mercury album . I cherish those days. I really enjoyed reading your post! Coin collecting creates lots of great memories! P.S. that was over 55 years ago! She and I are the only two in our family alive today. May God protect her.
Garage/estate sale collections can be the most fun to hunt & organize - it's the proverbial box of chocolates. I once came across a Colonial-era coin mixed in with random copper & brass in the bottom of a purchased tin. And yes it was a $50 value: you got several hours of entertainment out of it which is worth something in & of itself (like miniature golf or renting a pool table) plus you now have a cool small beginner's collection to share or sell cheap. I am curious if you got a total count of the pure # of pennies in there- was it more than 300 or so?
Considering you are 111 away from a set it was money well spent. A super fun hunt to watch. I would fill in the blanks with your PC. Some of those pennies were gorgeous with awesome detail. Keep up the fun hunts.
MEGA SCORE on the yard sale find. That is an epic tin. I would go back and see if the seller has anymore, GOOD goodies. I got a 1982 P small date zinc cent today back in change. Put it in my book.
I enjoyed this. I have a "Sucrets" tin from when I was young with 1010-1930's wheat cents inside. I have no idea what they are worth. Where is a good spot to search price for older wheat penny's? I had like 20 bucks in them 40's/50's, but finally sold them like 30 years ago. Wheat cents are fun.
I’ve seen the 1922D alone sell for $20 in a coin shop. Going by coin shop prices I think all the scarcer dates and old ones in good condition would be more than $50 just by themselves. On Friday I got a 1943 steel penny in the Coinstar and found my first Dr. Mary Edwards Walker quarter. Philadelphia of course because I live in the Northeast.
Late '60's early '70's I went through all my collection coins from my paper route collections and swapped new coins for all the Wheaties and 1964 and earlier dimes, quarters and half dollars. 5 books filled in my safe deposit box. The foundation of my collection. May sound boring but was fun, especially when I would find Indian Head Pennies and Buffalo Nickles.
I think you did amazing, wheat pennies are one of my favorite search, definitely a lot of profit to be made usually, considering that jar could’ve been all common dates, awesome hunt!!!
Last week, I bought 438 Wheat Cents from an older gentleman that was moving into a retirement home. He asked for 2 cents each and I paid him that. Went through them and found a 1909 VDB in XF condition.
Hey Rob, this one was a little different, but I liked it. This was a real interesting penny hunt, and very entertaining. Nice job, keep up the excellent work as always!
I bought a box of King George the 6th pennies for $25 CAD. Good news and bad news. Good news - about 130 King George pennies (most of which were 1950, curiously). Bad news - almost all of them had been cleaned. There was a 1943 Newfoundland penny in there too which, sadly, had also been cleaned but is still great. I put up a similar type of video to this on UA-cam going through them.
@@ScrappinLou There is not a lot of value in 1950 to 1952 Kg 6 pennies but its a shame most of them were cleaned and also usually a purchase like that if its all the same date means a collection dump all the good stuff was sold off and what is left are the cast offs there are still millions of pennies out there here in Canada because people hoarded them by the millions so still an easy cheap buy here
20 used to order 5,000 pennies Every payday and we would dump them out on the pool table search through them we found meaning of good Treasures even The elusive 1909 SVDB. Those were the days. We sold a ton of em. Sometimes I wish I could go back, but then when I look at my silver stack I think to myself I'm doing just fine😊
Hello, can I ask where you got the mat from you had in front of you? First time on your site, I liked the way you showed some of the Penny's. I joined your site. God Bless and HAPPY NEW YEARS
I have been metal detecting for 45 years. I have a container FULL of Wheaties. I also filled a coin book with Indian head pennies. I found several dated in the 1800's. Most coins come out of the ground in excellent shape. All of our new pennies ROT in the ground. I found an 1864 2 cent piece in an area that should have never had a coin from that era. I found after research, there was a stage coach stop there for lumber men. I have found many rings and necklaces that brought more money than any coin I ever found.

I think I have a 1931 S and a few others that you are missing. I'd have to go back and look.
Why is it important to put wheats in books, do they have better value?

Agree.
That sounds like a fun box!
@kamoroso94 The box was good. Not a record for me but still a nice box.
1944 Steel Wheat Penny: $408,000
1943 Copper Wheat Penny: $250,000
1856 Flying Eagle Penny: $25,000
1924 S Wheat Penny: $12,000
1873 Indian Head Penny: $10,000

Thank you!
I definitely think that fifty dollars was well spent, that was a fun hunt.
Man a 1909 vdb has been my dream coin since I was 8. Never seen one
You want a1909 svdb that's the money one
You can go to any coin shop and get one for $5-$10.
I wasn’t too optimistic but you got a lot of nice ones there. Solid value in that set!
I think so too!
Agree.
My grandad got me collecting wheats decades ago. They were still fairly common in pocket change until the 80's. This video reminded me that it's time to pass my gallon of unsearched wheats on to the grandkids.
Most coin shops will only pay you 3 cents a penny.
I think that was awesome fun to watch. Thank you, keep smiling.
Great Job !
Congratulations !
Have the best ones professionally Graded !
Rob please 🙏 complete the book and auction it off
I’d say it was $50.00 worth of fun. I always love your penny vids.
All wheat Penny's are always great
Well done Rob ! RFT!! My favorite!!!

You did better than i thought you would have on that!
Rob you scored 🤩
All the S mints from the teens before 1918 along with the 1931-S key date are for sure super tough!
Man I love yard sales for this reason
I got a roll of mixed 2009 (P&D) quarters for face value at a yard sale last weekend.
...and estate sales!!
this summer i hit almost each yard sales and asked for coins! Not too many people were selling coins in my area
@@gabeacgabeacevedo I feel.ya....it is definitely a hit or miss.
@@ZosoRocks1 all fun and part of the hunt!
I need to make some collection books here by 2025
That is awesome, nice find Rob!
Take the tin back to the guy that sold it to you and ask for a refill ! lol
Ya, seems like a pretty good purchase overall. Nice hunt and fill Rob!
Excellent find! Fun hunt as always! 😃
Looks like fun!
You did well on this hunt, I'd say you got your money's worth!
You had fun on this hunt too, thanks for sharing.
Well done!
A good buy I would say. Very nice!

Cool and different hunt ideas. Loved it! Happy Hunting! Stephen
That was fun man. I appreciate what you do.
Great finds, wheats are are fun to search 😀🇺🇸
Yes they are!
I think you did really great with the yard sale tin, Rob another great video!
Yeah, you did well with that tin box.
Fun Rob!
Good $50 investment.
That’s some good goodies
Yeah real good tin!
What a nice score! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks! Will do!
i would love to pick up something like that!
Just made my night 👍
You lucky devil I'm jealous but congrats on your finds keep on hunting and thanks for sharing cool peace out latter
Nice find. Made great albums. If I had them, I would complete those albums.
Considering you are 111 away from a set it was money well spent. A super fun hunt to watch. I would fill in the blanks with your PC. Some of those pennies were gorgeous with awesome detail. Keep up the fun hunts.
I did. Now it’s only missing 5
You find some of the coolest stuff. Love it.
MEGA SCORE on the yard sale find. That is an epic tin. I would go back and see if the seller has anymore, GOOD goodies. I got a 1982 P small date zinc cent today back in change. Put it in my book.
Fantastic finds and deal! I'm missing 19 to finish my album and probably never be able to finish it cheapfully.
You can do it!
nice finds.! definitely can't get mad at that.!!!!
Congratulations on your pick up. Very nice.
Great and exciting video
Awesome video congratulations on finding 2 1909 and a 1910 wheat pennies and congrats on finding other finds thanks for sharing Rob
That was great
Thank you!
Great video as always! You should keep it and try and complete it with future garage sale and eBay buys.
Nice yard sale pick up!
Thanks 👍
That was fun, great find at the yard sale, you did really well.

Pretty good deal !
That 1910 looks brown Unc. Easily 25 by itself. The 22d is another 15-20. GREAT BUY
Enjoyed, thanks for sharing!
That’s a good find.
I think you did really well... Did you ask if they had coins, or they were out on the table???
Technically they were setting up but I did ask for more and they said they didn’t think so.
I've never seen actual coins being sold .. I have asked and bought some that way.... Very nice..
That was really cool find
Late '60's early '70's I went through all my collection coins from my paper route collections and swapped new coins for all the Wheaties and 1964 and earlier dimes, quarters and half dollars. 5 books filled in my safe deposit box.

man bless that dudes heart, i hope he has a nice move and kept a coin for good luck
That is an amazing deal!
$8.76 for 438 Wheaties??? You should be arrested for taking advantage of a senior citizen! 🤔👮♂🚓🚔
You have about $5. Don't spend it all in one place.
Nice score .
You did pretty good
that was to much fun.
Great yard sale haul
I think you did very well for $50! Nice!
Almost a complete Wheat cent collection is great! My luxk would have been nothing but 1955-58 weaties. 😂
And I was stoked with my 1955 S I pulled Saturday 😂
Hey Rob, this one was a little different, but I liked it. This was a real interesting penny hunt, and very entertaining. Nice job, keep up the excellent work as always!
Lots of fun
Wish I could find a container like that even here in Canada and I would even take a jar full of wheat cents 50 dollars well spent I say
I bought a box of King George the 6th pennies for $25 CAD. Good news and bad news. Good news - about 130 King George pennies (most of which were 1950, curiously). Bad news - almost all of them had been cleaned. There was a 1943 Newfoundland penny in there too which, sadly, had also been cleaned but is still great. I put up a similar type of video to this on UA-cam going through them.

That’s interesting. Small tin is exactly where I store my old wheat pennies as well - all 50+ of them.
Oh boy I just enjoy watching you
Very good fun hunt!
You scored a solid value, and a fun time. Can't get mad about that!
I think it's worth the price congratulations
Not bad😅😅😅😅😅do the 43 stick to a magnet
Yes
That was fun stuff!!!
Nice finds in that same tin container.
I'd say you for sure made your money back, and then some. Awesome find.
Please tell me What magnifier do you use? Could you name it for me? I want to buy it. thank you
20 used to order 5,000 pennies Every payday and we would dump them out on the pool table search through them we found meaning of good Treasures even The elusive 1909 SVDB. Those were the days. We sold a ton of em. Sometimes I wish I could go back, but then when I look at my silver stack I think to myself I'm doing just fine😊
I'd say the 1909, 1909 VDB & the 1910 are probably close to $50 right there.
Great hunt!
Hello, can I ask where you got the mat from you had in front of you? First time on your site, I liked the way you showed some of the Penny's. I joined your site. God Bless and HAPPY NEW YEARS
That was a great hunt 😁 don't you believe the powers to be put you at the right place at the right time 😀
What a great find! I love taking a chance on stuff like that. 👍
Wow, 1909 VDB, UA-cam struck it rich ! ✨️ 💛 ✨️ 😊
My brother collected wheat pennies for a boy scout badge,i look at them every once in a while
Makes me want to go to those sales! Maybe I could find something special!
