South Florida, I got burned out in October hunting and finding nothing for months, but early on I found 5 Lowell W, 50 American Memorial W, and then a couple of both of them in slightly circulated condition from customer wrapped rolls. I was fortunate to get two new boxes of AMP P's to search right around the release date but it's been dry otherwise with a BU Roll popping up from bank fishing expeditions, or one from searching customer wrapped rolls.
I hit this pocket where for a month straight it was either a 2018 BU box or a Lowell 2019 box which doesn't have Ws in them, or a pieced together by the bank box of customer wrapped filthy coin rolls that were like $20 short of a $500 box...... It just turned me off of the whole thing.
I pick up a couple rolls here or there still, but searching 2-4 boxes a week... nahhh I'm done with that. Maybe after christmas. I keep an eye on ebay and sort by "distance: Nearest first" but the closest listed are lowells and AMP Ws still and even those are like 50 miles from me.
When AMP was showing up 15 miles from me is when I hit those boxes, so I'm just following that as an indicator that I should look now. I think at some point the others will turn up but I'm not going at it hardcore anymore.
