High demand will cause slight processing and shipping delays. We appreciate your patience. 
The obverse of the Wheat Penny features a portrait of President Abraham Lincoln. “IN GOD WE TRUST” is inscribed, as is the year of issue.
The reverse features two wheat stalks encircling the sides of the coin. Between them lie the inscriptions “ONE CENT” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” while “E PLURIBUS UNUM” sits above.
The Wheat Penny was designed by Victor D. Brenner and issued by the US Mint from 1909 to 1956, and it has since become a classic 21st century American coin. The obverse was commemorative of the 100th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth. These pennies were made mostly of copper, but steel versions were struck during WWII.
Wheat Pennies come with a few various markings, depending on where and when they were made. A mintmark is sometimes found under the date, with an “S” for San Francisco or a “D” for Denver. The absence of a mintmark means that it was made in Philadelphia.
Due to their numismatic appeal, Wheat Pennies are often valued at several times their face value, or higher for coins in excellent condition. This fact–along with their metal content–makes them a good investment, particularly for investors who enjoy collecting “junk” coins.
Your 5,000 Wheat Pennies will ship in a canvas bag that weighs over 34 pounds. Dates will range from 1930 to 1956, though we cannot guarantee any particular variety of these dates.

"Opened it up and grabbed a handful of coins off the top just to see the dates. In just that handful I got a 1919, a 1926, and three 1943 steelies, along with the expected 40's and 50's. Can't wait to go through the whole bag!"

“Opened it up and grabbed a handful of coins off the top just to see the dates. In just that handful I got a 1919, a 1926, and three 1943 steelies, along with the expected 40’s and 50’s. Can’t wait to go through the whole bag!”
“Found several unc, 1 bu. Nice cions, least expensive so far. My grandkids and I had a lot of fun going through them.”
“Nice sack with tie string. pennies are awesome with a lot of mixed dates. Mostly 40s and 50s, but a good mix of others. Good price and heavy as hell! Would like to see Provident carry sacks of flying eagles, steels and indian heads!”
“WOW what a ton of searching fun. These bags offer so much more. I was so impressed I bought the remaining 5,000pcs bags. They get my highest recommendation, ?Provident Metals a wheat cent collector?s friend indeed?. “
“Just finished searching through first bag. All I will say is WOW…. what a great group of wheats. My only regret is not finding Provident Metals sooner. Don’t really know why you would buy anywhere else, I’m not !!!!!
I Highly recommend these wheats! “
“Overall outstanding, fast delivery professionally packaged and a great group of coins. I?m still searching/ sorting through them, but so far they look great. I?m ordering a few more bags to check consistency. I will post more details then. “
“I took my time going thru them and had 2485 from the 40’s. There were 2184 from the 50’s, 106 from the 30’s, 150 from the 20’s and 46 from the teens. There were eight that the dates were unreadable, 1 Indian Head from 1906, 6 from the 60’s and 2 from the 70’s. Total count was 12 cents shy of what it should have been. These obviously had been searched, which is what I expected. It would have been nice if the variety would have been better, but I enjoyed going through them anyway. “
“Nice bag of wheaties! “
“When ever I look at buying some copper the first thing that I do is break it d0wn to the ounce price and compare it to the value of the piece. It is surprising how the price of the same piece varies so much on sites like EBay. The coin price ranges from over $0.14 cents to a low of about $0.04. Per coin. Over all this is a pretty good and fair pricing when you look at the age of the coins.”
