Best Answer

Wheat pennies are around 10 for 10$ its a good price i have about 5000 wheat pennies

MoreIt's simply not possible to give a blanket answer. Wheat cents were made for 50 years and at 3 different mints. Some of them (1957, 1958) were minted by the billions and are about as valuable as beach sand. Others (1909-S VDB, 1914-D) were minted in very small numbers and can sell for thousands of dollars.

You have to organize your coins by date and mint mark, then check a coin guide such as the ones linked below. Yes, it can be time-consuming but the alternative is not knowing if your collection is worth only 3 or 4 cents each or maybe a few hundred bucks.
