8 WAMs in 8 boxes including a 1999-be grateful-you're above the average.

I've been through over $5000 in quarters and haven't found anything worth mentioning... but I've had luck with wheat cents... "Unsearched" rolls from ebay spent about $100 total on them and found a doubled die and several OMMs

I've been through over $150 in cents and I've found six 98 WAMs and five 00 WAMS and one 99 WAM, but no CAMs. The 99 WAM was really sweet to find and my best ever variety found.

I don't keep track of how much I have been through. I would guess $250 in cents. I have found only 1 WAM (2000)however I have found 8 nice Doubled Dies. My best being 1972-1DO-008. As Coppercoins said there are a countless amount of very minor Doubled Dies (next to Lincoln on the Reverse). I have a entire roll of them and now I stop keeping them.

What are you using to search the elements of the coin? A magnifying glass? A Loupe? What power? It could be in the equipment you are using.

Unless you know what you are really looking for it might difficult to see a DD with a 10x. I use a 16x. If you find an obvious one (alot of the 72's) they will really stick out. But alot of other valuable ones will just have a few letters that are thicker and its hard to see split seriffs in "LIBERTY" and IGWT.

For example...look at this 2006P Doubled Die click ---> http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds Notice how the "Y" in Liberty is thicker on one side? Also you can see the split on the bottom of the "T" and "Y" ...Not all DD's have two separated letters or numbers.

The most common Doubled Dies are next to Lincoln on the Reverse of the LMC's. I stopped keeping them I have found so many... look at this 2004P to see what one of these minor DD's look like http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds

When you look at a date they should be equal in thickness all the way around if you see any variation then you should look at the entire coin more carefully...Notice how part of the "2" is thinner? Also the "0" isn't consistant in size like here ---> http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds

Hope that helps!

I get a headache when I look monocularly through a loupe. I got a little USB camera microscope and just check out the coins under it. I can adjust the magnification and take a picture if I think I've found something - very handy.

I've only been searching mostly circulated penny rolls I get from the bank for the last 8 months or so. I knew nothing about coins till I joined Coin Community! Since then maybe $300 worth and have found: 1- 1956D RPM #1 with a BIE error,
2-2000 WAMS,2- 1988 RDV006, a few other errors (feeder finger gouges,grease filled die errors, etc)but my best find to date a 1992 Close AM cent! Thanks Coin Community Forum!

What ever became of your 92 CAM? Did you get it slabbed by another TPG who would do it right after PCGS made their mistake on it?
