Are wheat pennies worth anything?

Not all wheat cents are worth keeping, and preserving. All coins in this list however are.

Of all the modern Lincoln cents the Wheat Penny stands out the most. Its reverse contains two ears of wheat, and the words One Cent, United States of America, and E Pluribus Unum.

They are usually dark brown in color, but occasionally red. Of all the colors the Red is the most valuable. Check out the copper penny color guide below.
