Greenstang Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 It might be worth a couple of dollars. There were over 392 million minted so they are not rare. Abdulah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 The 1919 is quite common. Abdulah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Meenderink Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 If graded XF 45 your coin would be worth $3.00 in AU 50 your coin is worth $5.00. The coin would not grade higher than possibly AU50 (unlikely) which would make it worth a whopping $6.00. Also pay attention to the weird stuff on the coin this looks like environmental damage to me. IMO if this coin was submitted for grading it would get XF Details Enviro Damage making it worth $1.00 in the end. Good luck! Abdulah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 In it's favor, it has nice even minimal (for its age) wear. Abdulah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to what source you consult, this coin's melt value as a "wheatie" is just about three cents. In Good condition, it is worth 20 cents; in Uncirculated condition, it is worth $5.

Maybe, but of the 392 million minted over a hundred years ago, how many are still around today? When's the last time anyone got one in change? When's the last time anyone got a Wheatie in change? Few get certified unless they are in exceptional condition (or minted in San Francisco). The 1919 depicted in the first post is quite lovely and ought to be set aside and passed on to newer generations of hobbyists [if not sold].

As part of a bulk lot at an auction in Pennsylvania, I got a medicine tin, I think it was a tin of Phillips, that contained about 65 1919 cents, averaging F condition. The last time I got a Wheatie in change was December 15, 2023. It’s not all that unusual. Henri Charriere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhair Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 I have 6 rolls of these from bags I searched, years ago. Many were well struck AU. It was fun finding them but very little value today. Henri Charriere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
