what do you do with wheat culls?

[postvmvs]

I have been going through pennies, where I presort and pull out wheat backs, Canadians, unc 2009s, and foreign. I pile the pre-1940s separately and nicer other ones that catch my eye to look through later for possible upgrades to my Whitman folder. I toss any gross, bent, chipped etc. coins into a separate pile so that they don't gum up the works and then run the rest through the Ryedale. My question is what to do with the wheat back culls, the coins that are corroded, bent, cut, cleaned, lacquered, shot-at etc. but are pre-1959. I am thinking about possibly liquidating my cache of wheats in the future. Should I toss the wheat culls in with the pre-82 coppers and forget about them, leave them with the other wheats, or create a separate pile for them?

I would stack them separately. You can always change your mind and throw them in with the brass bullion, but it's harder to change your mind in the other direction.

Anything of no collector value (ie with damage on a common date wheat cent) goes into the copper penny pile for me.

Culls could still have a value, just get enough of them and sell a roll of them at a time on eBay or Craigslist. If nothing else young collectors might want them.
