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.

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.

A couple of things about this product:1. I do not in any way believe that these have not been gone through. The pennies are of all common dates and are in very bad shape.2. I do not recommend buying this if you are wanting to add to your collection. You'd be lucky to find anything that would even allow you to break even. The value for what you pay just isn't there.3. I ordered them to show my grandson the thrill of the hunt. He is learning to collect coins. I was very disappointed in this purchase.

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.

They give you worthless coins

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.

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.
