Early Uncirculated might have value.Most circulated wheaties are only worth
a few cents to a dealer.

"B H" desired some help, so decided to ask:

Like other series and denominations of coins, the *condition* of the coin is
one of the most important factors. One coin that I'd sure be looking for if
I were looking through a bunch of Wheaties, is the 1931-S. That one would
definitely be a "keeper!" And, of course, the 1955 "double die" variety.
That one would REALLY be a keeper!

All US coins have a monetary value. It is what is inscribed on it.

Yes!

Here's a list of mintage numbers, with some "key date"
coins and known mint errors noted:

Interesting how the mintage of proofs increased by a factor of 24x
(51,386 to 1,247,95) from 1950 to 1957. Did public interest in proof
coins really increase that much or did the Mint just get greedy?

Yes, they have monetary value of one cent. Some of them may have
greater numismatic value.
