1 Full Pound of Wheat Pennies Assortment - 148 Unsearched Coins

Would buy again, definitely worth the money!

Be informed: I read the reviews beforehand and expected this would happen and it did. Upon receiving the bag, about 85% of the pennies were from the 1950's and the remaining 15% from the 1940's. No steel pennies. If you are just starting out with your collection, this is a great way to get the common wheat pennies. But if you are looking for pennies older than 1940, this is probably not your pick. All in all, we only found 1 penny we actually needed and that's not worth the $25. We also had like 17 of the same exact penny on one date. That being said, my child had a fun time sorting through the pennies and thinks it's cool to have a jar full of extras.

What appears to be unsorted. I've found some treasures in these little bags

Most of the pennys were 1940 and 1950’s I had 4 pennys that were unreadable and gunned up and 5 were 1920’sReally not worth the price although they did put them in a nice little velvet bag.Don’t recommend!

Let's just say it up-front: There is a degree of risk when purchasing collectible items in bulk if you are looking for specific items. The likelihood of finding the "Holy Grail" you are looking-for is slim to none. With that being said, I don't see purchasing this bag of wheat pennies any different than buying packs of football/baseball cards or Wacky Packages when I was a kid in the 70s ... you're going to get duplicates.I understood the risk involved with paying more than $1.48 for 148 pennies. I jumped into the rabbit hole of collecting coins when I discovered a roll of wheat pennies that I exchanged for $0.50 at the bank I worked at almost 30 years ago. After getting the coin books for those wheat pennies, the empty coin slots sparked a desire to try and fill the books ... bringing me back to my childhood days of collecting those sports cards and Wacky Packages. The whole risk/reward exhilaration of collecting cards, coins, stamps, etc. could probably be considering a form of gambling.I took a chance on this bag of wheat pennies and can't really complain about what I received. Of the 148 pennies, I was able to find 10 pennies missing from my collection. To me, this one-time purchase was worthwhile and justifiable (cost-wise) as I could have spent months (even years) exchanging rolls with my local bank/credit union trying to find a few of these pennies (based on my experience with the recent state and National Park quarters). With that being said, I have quite a few gaps in my collection to fill, so purchasing this bag ended up being worthwhile.What did I get? Well, I was able to get several San Francisco mint pennies, which really helped ... they, by far, dominate the empty slots in my collection books. I also received a handful of pennies from 1910s/20s/30s. Yes, I did receive several duplicates ... 1944, 1948, 1952-D and 1958 were very popular in the bag I received. The two stainless steel 1943 pennies were so clean, they looked as they had never been touched and I don't know if I should be skeptical as to their authenticity.Honestly, I cannot vouch for the veracity of these coins being "unsearched" ... especially when they advertise a 1909 wheat penny on the advertisement. Selling a bag of pennies at roughly 14x their face value hints that a "Holy Grail" 1909 penny will not be a likely find. There is nothing that can prove the claim that supports the coins as being "unsearched", unfiltered, etc.I found this bag of pennies best suited for those just starting a penny collection or maybe those who want to find "cleaner" versions of pennies they already have. It was a one-time purchase for me as I feel the risk/reward factor would likely increase with each additional purchase.

I am happy with the purchase and after sorting through them I purchased another set. Originally I purchased two orders hoping to get a better variety. Even though there are many duplicates, there was enough variety to make it worth the price. A few were pretty bad but there were a few that were in better condition and replaced the ones I already have, which cost me more than 13 cents. If your looking for great quality coins I would say out of the 2 bags there were 5 great quality but non below 1950. There were a total of 7 coins that were not wheat in the 2 order, but most 4 of them were the either rarer s mints or in better condition than the what I already had.

Most of the pennies are from the 50s some 40s few 30s. Fun to look through, esp getting a steel one. I still get a few here and there working as a cashier too. I also find silver coins too at work.

This was a learning experience. Obviously the coins had been sorted even though they claim they aren't. Lots of common coins. A couple of S mint marks. Mostly 1950s, but nothing before 1941. Two steel pennies with so much corrosion that the date is barely visible. AND four canadian pennies. Not worth the investment.
