Mmmm wheaties! I have been getting a bunch of wheat cents lately most are repeats featured here before but a few are suitable to showcase. This one is 65 years old and despite the many calls for its retirement this cent is holding up great.
The back is a bit gunky but the wheat heads are almost all full so that should keep the grade at fine, if not higher. The entire coin is heavily scratched but probably from circulation so it makes little difference. Unless this coin was uncirculated I would not expect a great value.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / United States
Year: 1949
Mintage: 217,775,000
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
Value: $0.05 in F-12
Do
you have a wheat cent and want to know its value? Leave a
comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history
for you.
I have a Lincoln 1966 has lamination on memorial over half the coin. Is this a double struck or mint error from die where pieces of a previous coin stuck in die and carried over to next coin

ReplyDeleteNeither sounds like the metal is flawed before minting.
