murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 07/15/2011 4:52 pm It will take a lot more searching to find good stuff. A box of 50 rolls of dimes will get me from 0-3 silver domes. and I average about 1 wheat per 7 or so rolls of cents. Report this Post to the Staff

Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 07/15/2011 6:08 pm Dude! I just about broke my mouse in half trying to click on this post. I thought for sure you were going to post a Bust dime or half or something along those lines. Imagine my disappointment when I saw that ugly old Lincoln. Keep posting those finds anyway. Hopefully you will soon post a real Bust so we can all do a . Edited by Tim Stroud 07/15/2011 6:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Chadwick Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 07/15/2011 11:28 pm I'll buy cents by the box, that's $25 at a time. I search them, return what I don't want to keep and do it again. Its a game of numbers, the more you search the better your chances of finding that rare gem. For example, I've searched an average of one box a week for 2 and a half years before I found my first WAM 1999 cent. Report this Post to the Staff

CPC24 Pillar of the Community United States 619 Posts	Posted 07/15/2011 11:42 pm I found a silver dime on my first roll. I was so excited, I went back and got 10 more rolls. Bad idea. I didn't find anything else but a couple cupronickel Canadians, plus I had to roll them all back up! I do mostly halves now; they're harder to get, but much easier to count and roll up!

murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 07/16/2011 12:24 am socceraustin: for the approximate price value for WAM's, I use this site: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/priceguide.html scroll down to where it says "design varieties". it shows prices in different grades for the WAM varieties.
