Bought 1/4 lbs 0

Wheat pennies to be correct. If no special dates, how, or what is it worth?

[Tridmn]

Nothing? Or just just a few bucks? Paid $6 for them all, sight unseen.

Unless I messed up the calculation, that is 36 wheat cents. Looks to me like you overpaid a bit, unless they are BU. Circulated wheats are about 4 cents each,  retail, I think. 

[Tridmn]

I hope not.

@Just Bob is correct that will be 36 pennies give or take a penny, so you paid $6 for $.36 face value or roughly $1.50 in metal value; hope they are not all AG's

This is why they are being sold in a unit of measure not usually applied to coins. Assume the worst of people advertising anything around coins, and you'll seldom be wrong. Don't buy a "nickel bag of nickels" either.

I ended up buying 3 shotgun rolls for $6 instead.
