Wheat pennies & Susan B's any numismatic value?
 

Just came home with an auction boxlot that had a sandwich baggy full of Wheat pennies & Susan B dollars.
Besides the copper value which I understand,
Are there any year wheat pennies that are worth the time of sorting through?
Same question on the Susan B's.
Thanks for any insight

No, on the dollar coins.
Yes, on the wheats.

Edit: Note the dollar coins should appreciate with time much like any other coin. I am speaking of current value.

You can find the keydates to look for by searching in Google on the wheats...the common wheats sell for 4-5 cents each...or you can do like some eBayers and throw them in a bank bag and call them "unsearched from your grandpa's safe" and get even more.

Not sure on the Susan B's...never heard of there being anything worth looking for with those.

Spend the SBA dollars, they minted so many of them and they never circulated heavily - they will never, ever have any numismatic value IMO.

Ok,
Looks like I want to look for 1909-S VDB ($550) 1914-D ($125) 1931-S ($50) and a few others.

The Susan B's go into the coin machine.

Anyone who has saved a Susan B has lost more than half the purchasing power of the coin.

You would have been better offf spending the ugly thing in 1979

Hang on there folks, there is whats called a type 2 susan b thats worth $50-$200. I had some in proof sets from 1979 and sold them on ebay for BIN $75 and sold out 9 sets in hours.
Let me see if I can find the info again.:36_3_12:

Susy B's, undoubtedly the ugliest coin ever minted in the US. They make the Sac dollars look good, but that ain't sayin' much!

There is a "wide rim" variety susan b. anthony that is collectible. It is from a design change in late 1979.
