Dekalb, check the 55's and see if any are no mint mark double die dates. Just one will more than make up any $10 spent. Scan down this link to the 1955 near the bottom.

delkalb33,
If you want an accurate value then don't use the PCGS website they are HIGHLY over-inflated on their prices. On average wheaties go for .05-.20 cents apiece with the ones you want to look for 1909-S-VDB, 1914-D, 1955 double die and a few others. You can find out the rare ones by using the PCGS website to find the ones whose values seem high, but their prices don';t actually reflect what someone would come close to paying you in value. I really don't know why they don't get in line with Coinworld's "Coin Values" (a much better monthly indicator of "Value").

Who says you need a detector to find treasure.... Sounds like you scored there.

sounds like a cache to me, anyone agree? keep on digging !!!!

 

[stoney56]

coinshooter, that's what I was trying to achieve, just to show what other rare ones are out there. In my neck of the woods, you can get a roll of wheats for about $1.25 for 40's & 50's.

well doing some more demo work and more moving of things, etc.(dumpster tossing).well came across a jar of silver coins, O MY GOD !!i went numb could'nt fell my fingers that wre holding it!!went to the home owner with this "find" offered them $150 for it they said theyd talk it over? so will see im not getting my hopes up but will see!lots of washingtons some buff. nickels, war nickels lots o mercs "sigh"

That's an excellent find. But, seems like everyone replying is forgetting something HUGE. With cache's like this inside the home, you definately need to try to get permission from the nice owners to hunt the exterior property with a good detector. Sounds like this site needs to be grid and searched.
Good luck.

Boy Dekalb I would love to see that Jar of silver. I hope they at least give you a finders fee. Good Luck and great post. HH
