What To Do with the Wheaties??

[QuarterMaster87]

Hey Everyone,

I've been detecting for about 2 years now, and have a bad case of Silver Fever. I've dug 185 Silver coins so far, plus a couple dozen rings and charms. Quite often, I'll get a really deep signal that might be something shiny, but it turns out to be a Wheat Penny. I've got HUNDREDS of wheat pennies now. What do you guys and gals do with your Wheaties? Should I just turn them into the CoinStar machine, or is there a better way to get rid of them (quickly)?

Just Wondering what you all are doing, Thanks!

Roll them and sell them on ebay. $5 per roll or something.

How many do you want?

dug wheats are worth squat. I dug hundreds & only the 1909's were sellable. the rest are "scrap". my LCS only buys no corrosion wheat common dates for 2 cents.

Wheaties? Serve with milk and blueberries? I just keep mine in a jar.

That's a serious amount of silvers you've got going on there, what settings do you use if you don't mind me asking?

I'm about 3 weeks in on my CTX and the sucker is a penny magnet.

I've not gone out once yet, where I haven't found at least 15 pennies before the day is done.

I am up to 9 silver coins and 1 silver ring though, so it's working out better than my AT Pro.

As for the pennies..........can't you just take them into the bank for cash? Well that is after you've cleaned them up?

My LCS also buys wheats @ 2c ea. 100% profit!

My LCS buys them for $.03 each. Taking 1,000 there today actually.

Send them to me and I will add them to the nearly 5,000 other Wheat Cents I have left!

I've got drawers overflowing with them. Wheats here in northern NJ tend to corrode really bad either in the ground or right after they come out of the ground (turning all green and nasty.) I'd also look for 1910-1915 wheaties with mintmarks, the 1922, the 1931-s, keep any others from before 1940 that look pretty nice and then Coinstar the rest!

I'm running the stock silver program, Manual sensitivity set to 24, High Trash selected. That's about it. I hunt a ton, and had an eTrac before my CTX so I'm used to the Minelab machines. Really, it's just about detecting areas others haven't.
