I think my problem is just too close to the city. My sister lives way out in the country with a small town bank. She gets 100% customer wrap (I think that's all they get). She has not seen the new stuff yet. Lots of copper and I talked her into pulling it for me :)
Urban versus rural?

Here in N.J I've searched about 8 boxes so far. Not one has ever yielded less than 30 wheats, at least 30% copper, and from 1-8 canadians. Most wheats are in 40-50 range but at least one a box has been 1909-1939. Don't ask me if I've found any CAMs or WAMs because I still have no idea what they are or how to identify them, I have found that one error though, that was easy to spot.

So I was at work today and had my first bermuda find.... Although it was a 5 cents I figured you guys would like to hear about it! This wheatie my fiancee pulled from a roll they had at her place of work.(she enjoys going through rolls looking for wheatied prolly more than I do!) But anyway, she showed me and I though it looked funny. After taking a closer look this is what I discovered. Is this an error in the planchet or lamination by chance?   The area I'm referring too is on the wheat side and is in the upper left corner. This next coin I found not in a roll but in a "take a penny give a penny" bucket. Looks to have been skipped over when it was time for the copper layer. tell me what you think.   Thanks for looking guys! Gonna go pick up some rolls tomoro and see what I find! Hopefully that elusive '99 WAM! |
