I would like to, but no, I don't get out enough or have the connections to make any good wheatie purchases.
So, I don't know if such deals are there, the closest I came was a $50 bag offered for $200 at a local coin show by a non-dealer. Given the chance again I may would take it. |

Hi all,
Heh. When you're buying wheats, they're .06c each.
If you're selling them, they're .02c each.
So say the dealers... |
Only when they CAN'T have it, ......THEN they'll want it.
I love Cents. If you get an UNC box, you win. If you get a regular circ. box, you win. If you get a zinc box, you don't lose....so you still win. |

| I'd love to know how these sellers on Ebay find all the estate sales with loads of wheat rolls. Makes you believe maybe there is a legitimate vocation in searching for old coins stored in people's old dressers and mason jars. |

Yeah, I just found this hoard of wheats the other day! Oh, wait, I went in my basement! |

| My dealer offers to sell me them for 3cents, but offers to buy them for 1.5. =/ But I also give him constant business. |

| 3 cents on wheats is pretty standard when buying them.....four at the most, but you can find plenty at 3. |
