Thank you None of those years contain a lot of rare issues, but if you want a quick way to sort out the worn from the less worn, flip them over and look for the lines on the wheat. Got to be able to see them all, even if worn, to grade F-12 or better. Might need a loupe to see properly, though technically, grading is with the naked eye up to MS-68. If you find any that are real nice, with some copper redness left or all the detail, try not to get finger grease on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkFeld Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Welcome to the forum. In average circulated condition, the ones from the 40’s are worth about 3 cents each and and the 1919, a bit more, but still less than $1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
