Hi:
Thought you might be interested. My daughter's and mine Wide AM collection. Since May 2008 till now we have found 54 Wide AM's. Thirty-three 2000's and twenty-one 1998's. Conditions range fro AU-details to Choice BU.

Can't find that 1999! - but we are still trying.

Thanks
Roger

If he does he had better have a concrete floor. That's about 9 tons.

We figure 100 boxes of 25$ each box. we look at one - two boxes a day. We also found about 6000 wheat cents, 4 indian pennies, 750 memorial 's', alot of errors (all types) the best being the 1982 P "Flip-Over - Double Struck" (see previous thread out there). Ken Potter is going to feature the 1982 in Nuministic News. Will keep you posted. The error collecting and vararity collecting has put a whole new flavor to searching! All pennies are from Harris & Sons.
Thx Roger

I'm lucky to get through 10 rolls a day. So I've only found 1-1998 and 1-2000, but I'm sure there's more to be found.....I hope.:D

It is really cool to have your daughter search with you. My wife and daughter both think I'm nuts. I'm having a dry spell, but you've inspired me to pick up a box today. I've got one 99 Wide AM, but the 92 Close AMs are really elusive.

Most, if not all so far, have been found east of the Mississippi and from the Carolinas northward with the highest concentration being in New England.

I've found three 92D Close ams in this area, with two of them different die stages. So there must be many more.

I've been looking for one so long. It always comes when your about ready to give up though.

That's why I wont buy a 1999 wide am - will trade a nice problem free 1988-rdv006 for the same 1999 wide am.
Thx
