I am running an ad on Craigslist and got an email for 9 lbs of wheat pennies.
Now he said that his sister claimed it was 9 lbs luggage weight. Guess she had them at her house back east and brought them to his house here in my state.
I assume luggage weight would include the container they used to transport them?
How much would you offer for 9 lbs luggage weight?
Thanks

| No way to know unless you know the weight of the luggage (and therefore the net weight of the wheat cents)... |

| Guess he counted them and there was $13.60 face value. I offered him $41 and he accepted that. I'll let you know what I find. |

Sounds pretty fair. You offered just over 3 cents each for them so I would have been all over that too.  |

3 cents is really that good a buy? I believe i have a coin dealer in town that still sells common wheats at 3 cents.

I would buy up everything he has! The local coin dealers here buy at 2 to 3 cents each, and sell common wheats at 5 cents each to the public. I was lucky enough to do a bulk dealer with one dealer for 3.5 cents each but that was a one time deal. |

Nothing to write home to mom about with my finds.
However, I did get a
1917, 1917d, 1918s, 1919, several 1920, 1920d, 1925s
several more different date 1920's
a lot of 1930s (weird it seems I was getting more 1930s than 1940s)
some 1940s
tons of 1950s
an almost BU 1955 S
I guess not bad at 3 cents a piece right? |
