Most pennies in my area are mucky, so my fear is that even if I found one it would never look like that nice one that was recently posted My thoughts exactly! I would hate to find a rare penny in poor condition, that's always been a huge fear of mine. Never see an error/variety penny in nasty condition on this forum and it makes me wonder... |

Was there a 1993-P WAM, the change over year, just like the 1992 P&D CAM? I remember reading an article a while back that there is. Just the "P".....not the "D". |

Hey Broseph, I'm sure you will/have but I want to make sure you do some extended research on the sorter before buying it. The Ryedale tends to kick early date wheat cents in with the zinc. Not a big deal if your goal is to hoard copper but for CRHers, it's a toss-up on whether this machine would save time. I'm guessing most of us would spend too much time double sorting and rechecking the zincs for early LWC's. I guess it just depends when you get down to it. Good luck either way. OO |

A scale is important as well. Personally still looking for the elusive '83 Copper and of course the "Aluminum cent"...just a dream...have little to no idea what I'd do with one if found.

Owassokie, that is a very good point. The impurity of earlier Wheat cent coins send them in the reject bin when your target coin is a copper cent. I talked to Andy about it. I had an idea to use a zinc penny in the comparator and he said that will work if I'm going to brush through the copper anyway. I guess people who want the wheats and not just coppers will do that Basically the way they work is you get one pile of one type of coin, copper, zinc, steel (like Canadian) whatever you put in the comparator, and another pile of everything else. Basically I will get a pile of zinc and the other pile will be coppers, canadians, anything not zinc. I'm just going to hunt through those :) |

I used the list last night on whatever pennies I could see as a date. Didnt find anything but was an education though learning terms like WAM and such. I did have a inquiry for you all. Is it worth keeping at this point in time (not for the copper content) any 1960's or 1970's pennies in BU condition? I remember finding 4 or 5 of them in the past but re-rolled them and sent them off to the bank. |

If they are truly unc, sure. For a cent a piece, you can go wrong. Especially with metal value on top. If you're ever hard up for a penny, you could always spend it. But I mean... one cent? I just consider it a savings plan and save anything I feel like.
