    In this video, I will search through a box of wheat pennies that I purchased from my coin dealer. I was able to purchase these coins that had small cents that included a few Indian Head Cents for only 2x face value!
    My Silver Dealer knows the things I like and sold all of his extra coins to me for a great deal. Since I usually purchase all the old silver and he knows I like copper too, he let me get it all! I will be looking for key dates, semi key dates, upgrades, and of course and varieties within the years I hunt. Hopefully you all enjoy this video! I know it's a bit long, but we had a lot to go through!

    That 58-D is machined, they look like that after they've been popped out of those aluminum lucky penny tokens! I've probably gone through 500 pounds or more of wheats at my job, gets boring sometimes but if I was doing it for myself I know that would be a blast. Plus a rare coin comes out once in a blue moon.

      He gets all the nickel and copper stuff at face value. He offers 2x face for that stuff for me, BUT he does tell the customers that they are welcome to take it to a coin shop. This is usually after he has agreed to buy whatever silver/gold/etc they have.
