Can't sell that one as an unsearched wheat.. you probably peeked at the date.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Now selling Copper pennies. 1.6x plus shipping. Limited amounts available. |

| Also one of the wheats was covered with some sort of flaky green stuff. I can't read the date. Does anyone know how to remove the stuff so i can read the date? |

| I got $50 worth of cents on Friday from my secondary bank. All were in customer-wrapped rolls. There was a total of 1320 '59-'82 coppers and 15 wheat cents, which makes my copper percentage for this lot 26.4%. My best find however was a 2000 wide am error cent. For those of you who aren't familiar with this coin, it is worth about $7 in circulated condition. |

Sorted 7500
