Unsearched Wheat Pennies

If you like to treasure hunt, then unsearched wheat pennies may be for you. Unsearched wheat pennies are groups of wheat pennies that have not been searched through yet.

Our sellers of unsearched wheat pennies normally obtain large quantities of wheat pennies through large estate sales, private collections, or other means. In some instances, the sellers choose to sell the pennies in unsearched lots rather than take the time to search through the pennies, themselves. The fact that the collection is unsearched and there could be very rare and valuable coins involved makes buying unsearched wheat pennies very popular - not to mention fun!

Unsearched wheat pennies commonly come in bank rolls, canvas bags, some interesting jar or box, or some other container. Many times, there is also an interesting story to go along with how the collection was obtained. Many unsearched wheat pennies are sold by the pound. Just for the sake of reference, 1 pound of wheat pennies is around 150 pennies.

Buying unsearched wheat pennies can be fun and rewarding, but be careful that the collection you are buying from is actually unsearched. One measure you can take is to carefully check the feedback of the person you are buying from. See if others that have purchased from them are finding rare and valuable coins. Another thing you can do is to check the seller's other auctions. If they are selling rare and valuable coins in other auctions, it COULD mean they are removing those valuable coins from the "unsearched" lots before selling them.

I would recommend sampling the collection before investing a lot of money in any one collection. See what kind of results you get, first, and then when you are happy with one collection, you can buy more from them.

A good rule of thumb is that a truly unsearched lot of 1000 wheat pennies should contain approximately 12 coins from the teen years, 29 coins from the 1920's, 79 coins from the 1930's, 457 coins from the 1940's, and 423 coins from the 1950's. Of course, this is just a loose guide, but now you know if you buy a lot of 1000 pennies and there are no coins from the teens, 20's, or 30's, you probably bought from a searched collection, rather than a truly unsearched one.
