Description: Twin City Gold is pleased to offer this LOT OF 10 ROLLS of wheat cents. This is a great chance to own one of the most collected US small cents ever produced. This coin is sometimes referred to as a wheat penny, a wheatback, a wheat head, or a wheatie. History on the wheat cent: One of the more valuable coins to collectors is the 1909 S ( San Francisco ), California minted "VDB" cent, so-named because the designer's initials were included between the stalks of wheat on the lower reverse side; only 484,000 were produced before the public outcry at the designer's initials being so prominently displayed. Even poor-quality examples of the 1909 S VDB coin bring hundreds of dollars and a high-grade mint condition example can sell for $6,000 to $12,000 or more. By contrast, the Philadelphia mint produced nearly 28 million examples of the 1909 VDB cent and such coins are far less valuable. The other key date of the series is the 1914 D, with a mintage of just under 1.2 million. Uncirculated examples have auctioned for over $26,000. The only other wheat cents to command prices on par with the 1909-S VDB and 1914-D are both error coins: the 1922 "plain" ($5500 for uncirculated specimens), the result of a filled die, and the 1955 doubled die ($1000+ for uncirculated specimens).
