Once you have determined which grade you have then go to http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml and look up the average retail price for your coin. Remember, these are retail prices and if you take your coins to a coin shop you will probably only be offered about 1/2 these prices.
    If you are just interested in the gold or silver value (bullion) then go to http://www.coinflation.com/coins/sil...alculator.html and this will tell you the silver or gold worth.
    If anyone needs any more info, just pm me.
    Good advice!. These sites are a great place to compare grades and price info. Also use Google for info resources. Good luck with your digging!

    I do hope someone answers this, I'd love to know if my wheat penny collection is worth anything.

    Best wishes for many sales to all,
    If on top 25 most valuable penny list, could be worth quite a bit.

    Found a few pennies located on that list among a collection of my father. My mom had donated them some years ago. I had even listed them out by date, grade, and value at that time. Seem to be worth more now. Will probably donate them to a different non-profit I'm involved with now, as the other has closed it's operations.

    Even received a few Indian Head pennies, and some very unusual heavy metal animal figures. Look almost like something that could be used to play chess. Also a strange book of matches from Foster D. Snell Inc., consulting chemists & engineers. My dad had unusual tastes and interests, and was a bit of a geek.
