Wheat Cent grades (one is steel cent)?

Sorry to say that both have been cleaned and / or polished. Probably worth 20 cents together? Hope you didn't pay too much more than that.

[timo16]

What makes you say they are cleaned? They were included in a lot including 1859, 1865, and 1866 IHCs. I wasn't interesed in the 22 wheats included, they went in my Whitman book if I needed or got tossed in a coffee can with my roll finds.

[Coindude]

Because they are circulated and shiny.

[L1ncolnF4n]

They're both circulated and worth about 2¢ each.

[johnny9434]

cleaned, circulated and worth about 6 cents (give or take)

[Coindude]

Dang guess I was way high on my estimate!

[timo16]

I roll search and find shiny, circulated wheat cents all the time. I doubt they have been cleaned since they were in circulation. My roll finds actually look nicer than these though. I will have to post my Whitman wheat cent book. The other 20 wheat cents that came with this lot I either added to my book or tossed in a coffee can with roll finds I don't need. Since I have two different books that cover these years, I will see if I need these dates and if not they will go in the can. Strange lot, all worthless coins along with an 1866, 1865, and 1959 IHC. The only reason I bought it. It even came with a clad 1967 dime to toss in the coin machine.

[timo16]

I think the steel is worth 10 cents and the other worth 2 cents thought. So 12 cents.

[timo16]

I really don't understand though why these and other wheat cents were even doing in this lot. Why would you detract from the most valuable coin in the lot, 1866 IHC with bold liberty and some diamonds with a bunch of nothing? But I do find shiny wheat cents at the bank that weren't cleaned. I will post them.

[BLive1972]

Were these in a "unsearched" roll with the 1866 on the end? I'd be interested in seeing the 1866 and 1859 Indian head. Can you post a pic of those?

We don’t need to see pictures of the shiny cents you found at the bank. Even if the coins above were not cleaned they are still circulated and not worth more than 10 cents.
