Since I moved my mother last weekend into her new house, she forgot these had been sitting under her bed for a number of years. I decided to see what exactly was in the strongbox. All wheat pennies ranging from 1940’s to 1960’s with a large group in the 1944 year and the 1950’s. There was also a small assortment of Buffalo head nickels and some other coins. Far as I can tell, they have very little value but I’m no expert. I know there’s someone on here from time to time that deals in coins. Any information on getting in touch with him is appreciated.

Thanks for the trust guys!!! From the looks they are just common dates. The light blue album is probably a 09-40 book with most of the good ones empty. If want pack them up and I can look at them in a matter of about 5 mins. And awhile back on here I did find a $100 wheat penny in a guys little bag. I believe he posted above as well. Let me know.

I believe they’re like 2.5 cents a piece for melt value still. ---
