cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 02/19/2013 2:26 pm Thank you mfhorn. I meant to say that as well in my last post with the link. Sometimes it seems like my hands and my brain have trouble communicating what I'm wanting to type. LOL! Report this Post to the Staff

FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 8:46 pm I found my first '99 (64RD) after about 5 months of searching. Had found about a dozen '98's and '00's before that. Found my second about 3 months later, and my third over a year after that. I used to do 3-5 boxes of cents a week, now I hardly ever search them so I doubt I'll find any more.

cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 11:21 pm I have found 2 x 1998, 1 x 2000 & now this 1999 WAM. I started roll hunting in Oct 2009. So I have averaged just over 1 a year. You can not really use my finds though as I live in Canada and all my finds came from Canadian cent rolls. :) Report this Post to the Staff
Bassmaster Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 11:06 am I have been searching for several years, however, I didn't know about them until a little while back. There are no telling how many I just threw back in. Report this Post to the Staff
mfhorn Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 11:09 am Quote: How long did it take you guys to find your first? If you mean the '99, a solid two years. It's a shame you didn't know of them from the start, but keep at it. They ALL came from the Philadelphia Mint, so being in NJ, your in the right area. Report this Post to the Staff

cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 01:27 am Thank you for all the replies. I was shocked to pull it from a Canadian Roll. Made my last 45 boxes of cents worth the effort. LOL! Well...that and the other nice finds I made. In particular the 1955 NSF Canadian. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 3:02 pm Awesome find! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 02/23/2013 4:11 pm Thank you BadThad. Question for you. Is Verdicare still only able to ship within the US or can we have it shipped to Canada now? Knowing the government...We still can not have it shipped here. I'm dying to try it on a few coins I have to see if it can save them from any further damage. Report this Post to the Staff
