Very, very interesting. Copper pennies will be so scarce that collectible value may sky rocket in the near future.

I have had the worst luck with silver lately but finding a wheatie still makes a hunt worth while for me.  Of coarse, I am pretty easy to please. 

  My only problem is that copper really goes to crud in our very very wet soil here on the humid gulf coast where the water table is only a few feet below the surface in most places.

  If I would count, I would most likely find that I have gotten around 75 wheaties over the last year so I guess that I am hoping to see their value rise jsut as much as anyone else. Clapp

I'm fortunate that the soil here in Chicago is good. Copper comes out relatively good. Silver comes out clean. Wheaties from 1909 thru 1911 are already considered antique coins (100 years or more) and as years pass by, every subsequent wheaty will be antique too! Of course, condition matters, but for the secondary market collector is less important. I'm putting together a collection of Indian Head cents and all of them are circulated and mostly in just good condition. I don't care cause a complete collection of good IHs is still worth money. Same for wheaties. I'm putting together a collection of MDted wheaties for my personal pleasure. I found them and cost me hours and hours of MDing and so I feel more pride of those than if I buy them. HH  Wink

Congrats on your finds & I have always loved my wheaties!

I'm glad I started saving them years ago, maybe one day they will rise in value enough so I can buy a Minelab Sov GT or Excaliber to find more.

Thanks for the thread, pretty interesting... Great

Jim

LOL,
yea I guess I'll have to keep finding the wheat's, I need to make my detectors pay off for themselves. hahaha

Wheaties are getting very hard to even find in circulation, and I think us hunters have a better shot at finding them as time goes by, than getting a roll of pennies at the bank and sorting through them.

I also loved Wheaties cereal & still do!  Grin

Cheers & keep up the good finds-
Jim

That is a bunch of decent looking wheaties. I found one tonight a 1941-P and this one alone saved the short after work hunt. Always glad to find them  Wink
