A deal? Well, penny for penny value, probably not. You would need to get at least 789 pennies to come out ahead. I think a roll (50 pennies) is atleast 1/8 pound.

In a collectors sense though, I don't know how much wheat pennies are worth these days. Maybe a cent and a half :lol:

I have a 1917 (I think) Wheatie penny that turned up in my change.

Also have a couple more wheaties, one from the 1946, the other(s) I forget.

Needless to say, I keep all the wheaties I come upon... or basically any coin pre-1960ish.

1909s Lincoln head first year w/ V.D.B on back v fine cond 1600.00 last I looked.

think I could get anything for my either 1916 or 1917 penny?

Not sure check w/ a coin dealer or a collector book.

My dad was a collector and I've got one of the 1909's

I've got a 1919 Cdn dime.... with the king on it...

I would sell them for the copper...

how can you not love ebay?

how many bulk penny sellers are there! wowsa...

It's nice to see other people interested in coins on here. I just inherited a 1916-D Mercury dime. It came with about 50 others all mixed together. I sorted them and found that one. It's worth about $600! As for those two wheaties, chances are they are worth between $0.10 and $1.50 apiece (depending on condition.)
