If you go to the bank and get $100 in cent coins, you are not likely to find very many wheat pennies because people have been systematically removing them from circulation for over a half a century. Many people keep wheat pennies just because they know they don't make them any longer.

Perhaps they sell them to a coin dealer, or perhaps they use okay to sell them.If you are thinking about buying a lot, roll or bag of 'unsearched' wheat pennies in hopes of finding valuable coins, first think about the following items:1) Q: Where do you think sellers get huge lots of wheat pennies? A: They buy them from people who have already searched them for valuable coins, and these are what are left over.2) Q: If a seller really thought that there might be valuable coins in the lot, would they just roll them up and sell them without checking the dates?

Probably not.6) Unsearched Penny Roll, Read "Me" 1st* - What this listing title meant was to read their About Me page where the following sentence is located: "When I say unsearched, I mean by me of course...".It is my personal belief that no one sells bulk amounts of wheat pennies that haven't already been searched for valuable coins by someone (or more likely by dozens of people) over the last fifty years. Here's an honest statement from one listing: "We have not searched
through this horde of cents, but cannot guarantee what happened to the
pennies before we purchased the collection."
