<p>[QUOTE="coinhead63, post: 1267591, member: 28001"]I am also. I figure what happened to the wheats will, to a certain extent, happen to the memorials. For the 1959 to early 1982 (Brass and bronze), I only keep EF(XF) or better. For the late 1982 to 2008 (Copper plated zinc) I only keep AU or better unless it is something like a scarce or rare variety such as 1998 to 2000 wide AM which I keep in any grade as long as it is not a victim of major PMD. So far, combining all dates of Mems I have close to 100 pounds. I started this endeavor in earnest when I heard the rumor that the mem design was to be terminated. The down turn in the economy caused a flood of cents being returned to banks and coin counter machines. I have found many from the early years that were probably stored in drawers, piggy banks, etc. for many years and looked like they just came from the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
