Since I've started sorting I've found about 3 Wheats that look like shiny brand new pennies. What do you guy do with with your to condition wheats? Are they worth a big premium? Do you sell them on ebay, get them graded, or hold onto them?

They go in the shiny pile.

If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!

| Depends...luster does not mean lack of wear. Anyone can get an vg coin and artificially shine it, giving it the appeareance that is similar to the luster of a MS-63 coin, for example. |

| The really shinny mint looking wheats I find go into 2x2 flips, and I keep them in a 3 ring binder. They are worth more than regular dull wheats, but it depends on the date and mintmark. |

| Common wheats in one tube, old, shinny or possibly valuable go in another. When I get time I will go back and look them over again. |

| It really all depends on the date and mint mark of the wheat. If its a BU 1958 or 58 D than its just worth wheat cent price because there are millions and millions of those out there. If its a better date or in the teens or twenties than I would probable put it in a flip. |

I've been putting mine in 2x2 folders
I asked a local coin dealer and he said for 50's common dates that are MS63 that he would pay 75 cents a piece.
I noticed in his cheap coin bin that he has beautiful red common date wheat pennies selling for $1.
I noticed on APMEX they sell them for 75 cents to 99 cents it looks like. |

| While on the subject of shiny wheats, are you guys doing the same with your shiny 1960's pennies? Looks like on APMEX they are selling for 29 cents a piece. I'm sure over time those are going to be harder and harder to find too. Are you just keeping them stored separate or do you actually put them in 2x2 holders? |

I leave them with the rest of my copper. I separate wheats, but that's it. One day I'll have the
joy of being able to search through all of my hoard looking for errors and valuable dates in the future. |

| I am starting to get enough wheats to start a 09 to 09 collection maybe I'll put these wheats in there of the shiny wheats I've gotten all are common dates 40's and 50's. One of these shiny cents appears to have no marks or anything and really looks like an 2008 may I'll put that one in a sleeve. |
