<p>[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1563410, member: 17555"]Back in the early and mid 2000's I'd often find 2-3 (98's and 00's) per $25 box.... I use to search a $25 box per week ("every week"), probably for 3-4 years before life got too busy and eyes got a bit frayed. Ended up with roughly a roll of each 98's and 00's, just from roll searching... maybe more. Have sold all of them except for 3-4 of each frorm each year. Had to break down and buy a 99.... I think Badness and maybe a couple of others in the forum landed that whale from rolls.. lucky rats ! Essentially all my profits from the two rolls I found went into the 99,,, but the moral is still that the work I did searching essentially paid for the 99. Hard work helps you keep the investment side of you collection achievable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, to answer your question based on what I see in boxes that I search now, probably 2-3 per year at the most now....... I'd guess if you searched 8 boxes ($200, 20k currently circulating cents), I'd bet you find at least one 1 98 or 00 WAM. That said, they are drying up quickly from what I seen over the past decade of playing around in rolls.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
