Better Value for Those Starting a Collection ...

Let's just say it up-front: There is a degree of risk when purchasing collectible items in bulk if you are looking for specific items. The likelihood of finding the "Holy Grail" you are looking-for is slim to none. With that being said, I don't see purchasing this bag of wheat pennies any different than buying packs of football/baseball cards or Wacky Packages when I was a kid in the 70s ... you're going to get duplicates.I understood the risk involved with paying more than $1.48 for 148 pennies. I jumped into the rabbit hole of collecting coins when I discovered a roll of wheat pennies that I exchanged for $0.50 at the bank I worked at almost 30 years ago. After getting the coin books for those wheat pennies, the empty coin slots sparked a desire to try and fill the books ... bringing me back to my childhood days of collecting those sports cards and Wacky Packages. The whole risk/reward exhilaration of collecting cards, coins, stamps, etc. could probably be considering a form of gambling.I took a chance on this bag of wheat pennies and can't really complain about what I received. Of the 148 pennies, I was able to find 10 pennies missing from my collection. To me, this one-time purchase was worthwhile and justifiable (cost-wise) as I could have spent months (even years) exchanging rolls with my local bank/credit union trying to find a few of these pennies (based on my experience with the recent state and National Park quarters). With that being said, I have quite a few gaps in my collection to fill, so purchasing this bag ended up being worthwhile.What did I get? Well, I was able to get several San Francisco mint pennies, which really helped ... they, by far, dominate the empty slots in my collection books. I also received a handful of pennies from 1910s/20s/30s. Yes, I did receive several duplicates ... 1944, 1948, 1952-D and 1958 were very popular in the bag I received. The two stainless steel 1943 pennies were so clean, they looked as they had never been touched and I don't know if I should be skeptical as to their authenticity.Honestly, I cannot vouch for the veracity of these coins being "unsearched" ... especially when they advertise a 1909 wheat penny on the advertisement. Selling a bag of pennies at roughly 14x their face value hints that a "Holy Grail" 1909 penny will not be a likely find. There is nothing that can prove the claim that supports the coins as being "unsearched", unfiltered, etc.I found this bag of pennies best suited for those just starting a penny collection or maybe those who want to find "cleaner" versions of pennies they already have. It was a one-time purchase for me as I feel the risk/reward factor would likely increase with each additional purchase.

Feeling totally duped

Well first in the picture it shows a Buffalo nickle now I know it says a pound of pennies but no where does it say there is not a nickel so I was under the assumption it would be there. That was the main reason I purchased this particular item. Well it wasn't. Second it says pennies come in a "velveteen " bag.. more like burlap sack. I even googled it before writing this to make sure and no where under velveteen in the Google search does it show the bag that I got the pennies in. When I opened the pennies up half of them looked moldy colored and it says in the description you may get steel pennies. I might have gotten one I can't tell by how crusty and discolored the penny is. All in all I'm so beyond disappointed. This was my first purchase of coins online I'm new to collecting and thought why not give this a try.. well a slap to my face was the answer. I'm not one to leave a bad review or talk bad about anyone but this was ridiculous. Just be upfront and tell us what we're really getting. A burlap sack of 142 moldy colored pennies. I'm only writing tho to possibly help someone else. Think twice before throwing 20 dollars away . Don't think I will be wasting money online on coins anymore. Just beyond sad with this

Fun to research and add to the collection.

Most of the pennies are from the 50s some 40s few 30s. Fun to look through, esp getting a steel one. I still get a few here and there working as a cashier too. I also find silver coins too at work.
