lea said...Here's the stats for a 1916 cent...
hi.i am curious to find out how much my wheat pennies might be worth. i have a 1916 wheat(no lettering) and also a 1958 wheat. thanks
Year: 1916
Mintage: 131,833,677
Metal: 95% copper 5% tin and zinc
Value: G-4 $0.30 (G=good with the lines in the wheat missing)
------- EF-40 $8.00 (EF=extremely fine with all details sharp all wheat lines visible)
Here's the stats for a 1958 cent...
Year: 1958
Mintage: 252,525,000
Metal: 95% copper 5% zinc
Value: VF-20 $0.10 (VF=very fine no worn spot on back, slight wear on cheeks in front)
Basically for all wheat cents if it's this bright and the stalks of the wheat are sharp with full lines those are higher grades and of course worth much more. Even the littlest scratch or cleaning the coin will devalue it to only a few cents.
Sorry it took a while for a response I was out.
Thanks for your visit.
I have a 1944 wheat penny. Is it worth anything?
ReplyDeleteIt's about $0.10 or less, because it is one of the most common old pennies.
ReplyDeleteI'll post more about it in a mintue.
how much are a 1939,1948,1950,1951,1953,and a 1956 wheat penny worth?
ReplyDeletewhat is the highest value of a wheat penny that u have seen?
ReplyDeleteWheat penny in Very Fine
ReplyDelete1939 $0.25
1948 $0.10
1950 $0.10
1951 $0.10
1953 $0.10
1956 $0.10
What is the highest value of a wheat penny that u have seen?
I seen in person a 1955 Double-Die that sold for $11,500 in MS-65. Other high grade 1922 no D cents have sold into for almost $27,000(but I personally never seen one).
I have a 1938 wheat penny that is in seemingly good condition. You can see the lines in the wheat, but it has several tiny dark spots. Could it possibly be more than $.01?
ReplyDelete1938 cent spots are annoying but only affect value in high grades.
ReplyDeleteWheat lines indicate at least a F-12 and value of about $0.20.
Dear Man,
ReplyDeleteWhar do you mean by Double Die?
I have a 1955 in alsome condition, but i dont know if its double die?
If your not man, but know email me at my email address: bkopicz3@hotmail.com
identify in the subject bar PENNY
Double Die or more correctly Doubled Die is also known as hub doubling.
ReplyDeleteA hub is the master design of a coin,
it is pressed into a blank die sometimes more than once,
then the die is used to press into the blank coin,
at the end a new coin is minted.
The die that got pressed several times occasionally has an element of the design slightly off-center.
In the case of the 1955 penny the date was doubled and then transfered to 20,000-24,000 penny that were minted,
the words LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST are also doubled.
The image attached is the most famous example. Most examples found in circulation are brown and worn but still worth about $500 in good condition.
How much is a 1958 wheat L penny worth? thanks for any help
ReplyDeleteNo such thing as a 1958 L penny, at least not in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteOnly D, S were mint marks used on pennies. It sounds like your D is broken or struck through grease. Either way on a 1958 it would not bring up the value more than a cent or two, in some cases it may even lower the value.
I have 1916, 17, and 18, and 1919 1919-D and 1919-S, are they worth anything
ReplyDeleteI assume you mean cents in fine.
ReplyDelete1916 about $0.35
1917 about $0.30
1918 about $0.40
1919 about $0.40
1919-D about $0.45
1919-S about $1.00
I have a good amount of wheat pennys and I would like to now how much the pennys are:
ReplyDelete- 1958 very good con.
- 1957 D good con.
- 1955 D good con.
- 1950 good con.
- 1942 good con.
1958 very good about $0.05
ReplyDelete1957 D good about $0.03
1955 D good about $0.03
1950 good about $0.03
1942 good about $0.15
Most wheat cents are worth only their copper value of 3 cents in good. In low grades look for anything before 1933.
1909, 1914, and 1922 are three great years in terms of value.
If you happen by a mint condition coin of any year it may be worth more.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUSH IN CASH IS MY 1934,1946,1953D, IS WORTH, IS A WHEAT PENNIES 1934,1946,1953D.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing you mean how much are coin shops willing to pay in fine.
ReplyDelete1934 about $0.04
1946 about $0.03
1953D about $0.03
This why I don't go to coin shops you would get more money selling them on eBay.
The are valued slightly higher, this is what you would have to pay to replace them.
1934 about $0.20
1946 about $0.05
1953D about $0.05
Either way they are not worth much.

A friend of mine has a wheat penny with a 2 on Lincoln's head. It also has a 2 near the date. I can not remember the year of it right now.
ReplyDeleteIs this an unusual penny?
2 on Lincoln's head. It also has a 2 near the date.
ReplyDeleteNo this some outside of the mint stuff.
No extra value.

I believe I found a 1942 with a 1 behind the 2, or visa-versa, wheat penny. Worth anything?
ReplyDelete1942 with a 1 behind the 2, or visa-versa, wheat penny. Worth anything?
ReplyDeleteI never heard of this error and it is not listed in any of the books.
There are three 1942 doubled die errors and are worth a couple of hundred dollars.
If you believe it's real then you may want it graded. It might be the first of this type.
I have a 1958 D wheat penny. It is not copper colored like most pennies. It is more of a silver color. Was this minted this way, and if so, is it worth anything?
ReplyDelete1958 D wheat penny. It is not copper colored like most pennies. It is more of a silver color. Was this minted this way
ReplyDeleteThey did not make any on purpose.
Accidents do happen to find out you must weigh the coin.If it weighs 3.11 grams it's fake.
I got a 1938 wheat penny in change today. The wheat lines are easily visible. The high spots on Lincoln's head are slightly worn. The only scratch is through the word "of". Any idea on its value?
ReplyDelete1938 wheat penny in change today...The wheat lines are easily visible. The high spots on Lincoln's head are slightly worn. The only scratch is through the word "of".
ReplyDeleteSounds like a VF-20(very-fine) it's about $0.40.
I have a 1958 d penny in which the d is touching the 5, but the other 1958s arent touching the 5, is this a double die? is this worth anyhting?
ReplyDelete1958 d penny in which the d is touching the 5, but the other 1958s arent touching the 5, is this a double die?
ReplyDeleteThis not a Doubled Die. It sounds like the mintmark is just punched close to the 5.
I've seen a 1958 D that touches the 9 and has a Doubling on the D only worth $0.50.
Check out this link 1958D-1MM-037 for more specif info on your possibly new variety.
I have a wheat penny dated for 1909with not D or S, how much is it worth? It is in fairly good condition.
ReplyDeletewheat penny dated for 1909with not D or S,...It is in fairly good condition.
ReplyDeleteAbout $2.50 you should also check the bottom of the reverse if there is a tiny V.D.B. it's about $13.00.
How can I get rid of the green stuff on my wheat penny without damaging the coin? what is the green stuff?
ReplyDeleteMy penny seems to have a bump under the a in america but this may just be the green stuff. I can see the pattern on the wheat and lincoln's hair is a bit worn. it is 1946 D. what is it worth and how do i get the green stuff off without damaging the coin?
ReplyDeleteand is the lincoln head supposed tobe upside down when the ONE CENT side is right side up?
ReplyDeletebe back to check for answers
ReplyDeleteHow can I get rid of the green stuff on my wheat penny without damaging the coin? what is the green stuff?
ReplyDeleteYou can't it is permanent chemical damage.
You can slow it down by soaking in olive oil for six weeks.
Maybe after that using Vaseline and a soft toothpick with a soft touch to take it off.
My penny seems to have a bump under the a in america but this may just be the green stuff. I can see the pattern on the wheat and lincoln's hair is a bit worn. it is 1946 D.
ReplyDeleteThis coin would have no extra value the green damage will eat through the coin and cause bumps.
and is the lincoln head supposed tobe upside down when the ONE CENT side is right side up?
Yes.
thanks.
ReplyDeleteI have a 1952 wheat that is in great condition with the exception of toning. It has something on it I have never seen on a copper lincoln penny. Lincoln has hair on the side of his head where he is bald on all other pennies. There is an obvious mint error look to this coin. Have any ideas?
ReplyDelete1952 wheat that is in great condition with the exception of toning. It has something on it I have never seen on a copper lincoln penny. Lincoln has hair on the side of his head where he is bald on all other pennies. There is an obvious mint error look to this coin.
ReplyDeleteToning is perfectly fine it means it's authentic.
The bald spot sounds like some kind of weal strike or struck through grease error. Either way it does not add any significant value so maybe about $0.25 it may lower the value if it is a weak strike.
Hi, I have a roll of 1958 D wheat pennies that have never been in circulation. How much is it worth?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Brian
I'm sorry, I don't think you understood what I mean. This 1952 wheat penny was minted with a full head of hair on lincoln, there is no receeding hairline.
ReplyDeleteroll of 1958 D wheat pennies that have never been in circulation
ReplyDeleteThey average about $5.00 for the roll.
I'm sorry, I don't think you understood what I mean. This 1952 wheat penny was minted with a full head of hair on lincoln, there is no receeding hairline.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that I understand now there is extra metal on the coin.
This is a cud error still only slightly above normal so maybe $1.00 or less.
When making Lincoln's portrait only one master hub is used so there are no design variations that would make different hairstyles.
All errors like this involve missing metal on the die, weak strikes, and late stage dies which may be weak and broken.
Okay, that makes more sense. I appreciate your time.I was told there were different patterns in 1952. Do you know anything about that?
ReplyDeletewhat is a 1953 wheat penny worth it doesnt have a mint mark
ReplyDeleteI was told there were different patterns in 1952. Do you know anything about that?
ReplyDeleteDesign varieties exist but they are well known just in Lincoln Memorial cents there has been 7 design changes but they're only worth extra if they were the wrong year. When a 1989 back is on a 1988 cent that is a good example.
All that said I don't know any Lincoln cent that had the hairline modified. 1952 and some mintmark modifications but nothing else.
There is a known doubling that shows two eyelids but it's only about $1.00.
It doesn't hurt to put it aside and maybe scanning or taking a picture and put it online, many coin forums do this like that they can identify it or find others.

I have a 1941, 1954, 1939 s, 1947, 1945, 1941, 1940,1947 and 1945 wheat pennies are any of them worth anything

i have 1955 penny with a d mint mark and a d on the left side of the head is that worth anything??
ReplyDelete1955 penny with a d mint mark and a d on the left side of the head
ReplyDeleteMost likely it's damage but there is an error called Dropped Letter which leaves an impression of on the field of the coin.
Does the d look like the D in GOD or the D under the date? If so it may need to be looked at by an expert in person.
Dropped Letter errors can go for hundreds but many fakes exist worth nothing.
it looks like the d under the date.. under a magnifying glass you can see it perfectly.
ReplyDeleted under the date.. under a magnifying glass you can see it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteYou'll need some to look at it or have it professionally graded. Try posting some pictures online first and have either coin forums or error experts look at it for an opinion. Try maybe local coin shops or clubs for assistants.
Hello, I am just wondering, Do you know why they changed the wheat penny to the copper penny? Thanks
ReplyDeleteDo you know why they changed the wheat penny to the copper penny?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the question.
If you mean why they changed Wheat cent to a Memorial cent it is was changed for the 150th Anniversary of Lincoln's birth.
If you mean why it went from copper to copper-plated-zinc it was to save money because copper process went to high.

I found a 1958 penny with the number one that looks like a 7, why do you think that is. I checked all the other coins from that year and they don't look like that at all.
ReplyDelete1958 penny with the number one that looks like a 7, why do you think that is.
ReplyDeleteDamage, this type of error is not possible.
I just found a 1958 penny that has a more silvery appearance as opposed to a copper color. It looks kind of like a shiny version of the WWII pennies. Have you ever heard of this? Could it just be a different kind of copper?
ReplyDelete1958 penny that has a more silvery appearance as opposed to a copper color.
ReplyDeleteIt may be an error made of a different metal.
Weigh it if it's about 3.11 grams it is just painted and worth nothing extra.
Any other weight might indicate a valuable error.
I have a 1956 wheat penny that has the D very close to the date and a 1950 wheat penny double die-that has an odd 9 My grandmother had them marked valuable.
ReplyDeleteJust found the collection-it is from the 1800-1970's
Thank you very much
1956 wheat penny that has the D very close
ReplyDeleteThis was common among 1950s cents, there are 23 varieties that show some doubling. Some are very near the date but the average is about $1.00.
1950 wheat penny double die-that has an odd 9
I know of only 3 varieties none involve the date this is possibly Machine Double worth nothing extra. Even if it's true doubling they average about $1.00.
Hi my name is Evan. I have a penny i found that seems to be both steel and copper. Its from 1943 and the 3 drops down like a regular 1943 steel penny. it seems like the steel was put on top of the copper though cause it feels like you could scratch it off. Any thoughts on how much it could be valued at?
ReplyDeletesteel and copper. Its from 1943 and the 3 drops down like a regular 1943 steel penny. it seems like the steel was put on top of the copper though cause it feels like you could scratch it off.
ReplyDeleteNot possible.
What you are seeing is the Zinc coating.
Each 1943 cent was made of Zinc-coated Steel the Zinc is not stable and gets warn off easily.
This is common and only perfect cent have any true value.

ReplyDeleteThe ANA (American Numismatic Association), Columbia Rarities Group, Inc., and a few other smaller Coin Dealers, plus private sales show at least 17 exist but the government said only 12 exist.
At no point have all of them been on display. 1999 was the last time I read of 3 in auction $112,500, $102,500, and $32,200.

1953 penny copper on the inside but the outside might be steel or zinc. The front and back are magnetic but the sides are copper it is in great condition.
ReplyDeleteWhat you describe is a bi-metallic coin which was not possible in 1953. This is some sort of fake or an attempt to make jewelery.
2000 penny that
is yellow gold color and magnetic I have only seen 2 of these and I work
with money everyday are these frauds or something of interest?
Some sort of fraud is a bit harsh but these are made outside the mint by coating a normal cent with a thin layer of some semi-precious metal.
Usually the sell for $3.00 but they have no real value.
I have a 1941 Wheat Penny that has a letter sticking out of Lincoln's jaw line beneath his ear, found in a roll of pennies from my bank.
ReplyDeleteis this a Mint Error?
1941 Wheat Penny that has a letter sticking out of Lincoln's jaw line beneath his ear,
ReplyDeleteIt's possible it could be a dropped letter error, a die clash, a double struck, or a few other types of error. Some are common and others are rare.
If you can get a good picture of it and use a free photo site to drop a link here I may be able to help.
If not any other online coin expert will ask for the same, a good picture.
I suspect it may be a die chip not worth anything extra. That is the only type I seen involving Lincoln's face.
I am referring to a post about a 1958 Wheat penny that was silver colored..not copper colored. Anyways..i also have one..it seems it has two types of medals that were placed together during the strike..the head side has a slight magnetic pull..not much..but the tail side..no magnetic pull at all..its silver colored and very immaculate..i weighed it..and as you said..i was shooting for 3.11...and it was right on the nose. It seems to have no evidence of being tampered with. Please let me know something. Thanks.
ReplyDelete1958 Wheat penny that was silver colored..not copper colored...3.11...and it was right on the nose.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately since it is exactly 3.11 it is a real cent covered with steel or nickel. Done to make a fake or by accident.
No extra value.
Were it silver it should weigh 2.50 grams.
If mixed it would be between 2.50 and 3.11.

ReplyDelete1943 penny that i guess is copper coated. but it sounds like a steel penny when i drop it on a desk. im just curious if is is a fake or if they made copper coated pennys in 1943
ReplyDeleteCopper-coated means it is a fake.
Try a magnet if it sticks it is a fake.
If it does not stick it may be worth weighing for further inspection.

cool site, actually found out the info I was looking for right away!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This is the kind of site I've been looking for! So my question is:
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago, while bartending, someone tipped me with a sealed roll of wheat pennies. I just found them a little while ago while cleaning and was wondering what they are worth. On the outside of the paper it says...
30 out of circulation Lincoln wheat coins, U.S Minted 1909-1958, Awarded by International Home Shopping, Canton, Ohio, Recorded And Filed As: Historical U.S. Coinage, Registration: 5821, Sweepstakes Winner: 91, c1895 IHS ?????. I've looked around online and I can't figure out what this roll is worth or if I should or shouldn't open the roll and see what years are inside. The back of the end penny that is showing says 1958. Does this mean they are all 1958? I'm very curious and want to open the roll but my husband says "NO! Do not open the roll until you ask a professional." Any advice?

ReplyDeleteInternational Home Shopping or IHS is kind of a scam company, over priced items of lesser quality.
The 30 coin roll is not valuable as an unopened roll.
You would have to open the pack to see if the coins have survived in uncirculated.
Currently most of the uncirculated wheaties are about $0.20 each more if older than 1944.
I would open them since only gov't issued rolls have value.
Thanks so much for the response. I did open the package and they don't look uncirculated to me. A few of them have spots and one of them has some blue stuff on it that looks like blue rust. Other than those few, they look like regularly circulated pennies to me. I am not a collector though so I really don't know. They vary in years from 1944-1958.
ReplyDeleteI did open the package and they don't look uncirculated to me. A few of them have spots and one of them has some blue stuff
ReplyDeleteThat means the paper had acid and those coins are damaged, it lowers the value to 3 cents each.
The rest sound normal so about 5-10 cents a piece.
Thank you! You've been so helpful!

ReplyDeleteI have a 1925 Wheat that is in fairly good condition, and on the back - right hand side just below the wheat stalk there is the number "7". At first I thought it might just be a nick or scratch in the coin, but looked at it with a jewelers hoop (30x) and I am pretty sure it the number 7 - any input?

ReplyDelete1938 wheat pennies that are miss stamped.the stamp starts near the date and goes clockwise to the in god we trust.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you are trying to say but I assume you mean an Off-Center error which is fairly common.
It sounds minor less than 10% which has little to no extra value.
If some of the lettering is missing then $5 - $10 depending on eye appeal.
i have a wheat penny i know its a wheat penny because it has the wheat emblem on both sides,got it about 25 years ago do you know what it would worth,used mag and could not see any fuse marks can u help
ReplyDeletewheat penny i know its a wheat penny because it has the wheat emblem on both sides,got it about 25 years ago do you know what it would worth,used mag and could not see any fuse marks
ReplyDeleteThis type of error would be nearly impossible it has never been seen. There would not be any fuse marks it could be a cast fake or some other type of fake.
All that is left is to take it to a certified dealer and ask for an opinion but most likely it's a fake.

I have what is probably a stupid question regarding the 1922 "no D" penny. If there were pennies that came out (like in 1923 for instance) without a mint mark (just a "plain" 1923) were there no such pennies for 1922 ? In other words, was every 1922 penny supposed to show a mint mark ?

ReplyDeleteAll 1922 cents were made in Denver and should have a D mint mark.
But since the Denver mint did not have enough dies they got worn and reused so the D is sometimes very faded or missing but they are still Denver cents.

Hi! As a cashier I find lots of wheat pennies but just found a 1916 s (i think) that has no back stamp whatsoever. No ridge and flat and smooth as a baby's butt. Is it of any extra value because of the missing back wheat stamp? Thanks Man:-)

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like damage and has no extra value.
By 'damage' do you mean that the back stamp of the coin has worn off? or was it just a mistake and not stamped? I've seen hundreds of wheaties some of which are greatly worn but this one was never stamped on the back. Do you still concur with your original assessment? Thank you for your responses>

ReplyDeleteIt is not possible to stamp a coin with only one side. The way you describe the coin sounds like someone has smoothed out one side to make into jewelery or something.
