I, too, have found more than one wheat penny by picking them up off the ground. I think you're correct. I think most people ignore pennies on the ground. That's ok, though. That leaves more pennies for you and I to pick up. :) You're right, a penny saved is a penny earned, but in the case of wheat pennies, a penny saved can be worth more than a penny earned - in some cases much more. Heck, today, the price of copper is such that most wheat pennies are worth at least 3 times face value, anyway, just in copper alone. I'm a wheat penny collector and enthusiast, myself. I have my own wheat penny site, too, where I try to provide a lot of wheat penny information. It's an exciting hobby and I enjoy sharing it with other people. Glad I stumbled onto your site. I enjoyed reading your post. Mike Smith Hi, I was browsing blogs about wheat pennies and I found yours. I, too, have found more than one wheat penny by picking them up off the ground.

It did create enough excitement to encourage lots of new people to start the hobby. But at the same time most of these new hobbiests were sorely disappointed when they found out that there nifty new quarter collections would take what seemed like forever to complete and in the end not be worth much more than face value. I gave up on the state quarter series in 2001 and am waiting for the series to be complete. At that point I plan on Coin Roll Hunting the ones I'm missing.
