1951 red wheat penny ms-67 [solved]

6 posts • viewed 97 times

I am evaluating a persons coin collection and found a roll of 1951 red wheat pennies. They are brand new because of the bright luster on it. Has to be MS-67.  I am will post a picture later for proof. Looking for possible value per each penny.  Found a listing that quoted $300 each. I think there is about 40 to 50 pennies. Looking for professional opinion on this topic.

Hello 🤖

 

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

I think MS-67 is probably wishful thinking especially for coins struck at any stage of die deterioration and that have been handled and rolled.  I would guess closer to MS-61 to MS-63 assuming no circulation at all, so according to NGC from $1.50 to $6.50 depending on mint and grade for certified coins.  Of course, sight unseen I could easily be wrong about the grade. I'd be interested in seeing some pictures. Please post.

The only professional opinion on a grade like 67 is from a TPG.  

Pick the one you think is best and send it in (making sure you are not the one paying for it) and cross your figures.

 

$300 is low for the 1951 Philadelphia:

$504  https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=6299671

 

Interestingly the 51-D and 51-S are worth far less.

These Pennies are from 1951 S. Red wheat penny.

Value is lower for 1951-S (I think these values include the 20% commission)
