Question
hello joe, i have been collecting coins, mostly pennies for about a year. it started when i got a 1919 S penny. anyways i now own over wheatbacks and several 1959. i was wondering if it will be valuable especially next year (being the 50th annviersary of the lincoln backs). also i would like a reference or two for buying silver U.S. coins (specifically dimes) thanks for your time, any help is apreciated
Hi Austin,
Many wheat back peenies are available by the roll in uncirculated condition for a few cents apiece, the did make millions of them afterall. So to answer your question if they will be worth more after 2009, I would have to say no unless they are GEM condition or error coins.
Pick up a copy of COINWORLD. Some newsstands and BIG bookstores carry it. Otherwise go online to www.CoinWorld.Com
You can subscribe to it, it is a weekly publication that is widely used throughout the industry. That is your best marketplace.
