Mister Ed Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Last week I was in Germany on a US military base where pennies aren't used - probably due to the cost of shipping them. I was even approached by a German about copper pennies since they buy bulk US coins which are smelted in Mexico (that was his story). He stated "their buyer" was in Texas and they bought both coppers and silver in bulk. But my question to other is...what the heck do you folks do with the 50th roll of 1958-D (or other common date wheaties)? Put them on E-Bay as unsearched???

Vfox Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 what the heck do you folks do with the 50th roll of 1958-D (or other common date wheaties)? Currently about 25 mixed rolls are sitting in a pencil box on my computer desk, what I will probably do is hold onto them until I get tired of looking at them. Then take them to a coin dealer and get $0.02 each....unless copper jumps above that....then maybe Mexico? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stilson Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I hand them out. My nephew, nieces, etc. (I'm hanging on to a few rolls for when my grandkids get older.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I use to have a guy call me from an auction company whenever he got coins in. i use to buy wheat rolls for a $1. He hated dealing with them. The biggest amount of rolls i got off of him at one time was 93. And i still haven't gotten to go through them all yet. I have about 15,000 waiting for me to go through them. Hopefully i will this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Actually it is pretty inexpensive to ship 5,000 wheaties. All you need is a flat rate box from the postal service. So for around $9 you can ship as much as you can in a flat rate box. Just tape the hell out of the box after you fill it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try it, because if they will I will sell them for 3¢ eaches, or $150.00 for the whole lot. I also have literally thousands, maybe 6000 British coins all predecimal that I would like to get rid of similarly, but they weigh about 95 lbs.
