Message:: [QUOTE="Kent, post: 662706, member: 22491"]You guys kill me with these finds. Since joing this forum I have searched 2 bags and 9 boxes of pennies. That would be a total of 650 rolls I average about 7 wheats per box nothing special an AU red from the 60's or 70's and probably 15 to 20 of the new Lincolns each time I search, but I have not found a single Wide AM or Close AM, or any of the double dies listed in the Red Book. How close does the AM have to be on the 1992's to be considered a Close AM variety. I had several last night that I ahd to look at with 20x loop to see the gap most of the time I spot it pretty easily. It seemed there were about two or three different size gaps some closer than others but never one touching. I don't bother with RPM's because I am not sure of the differance in RPM and just a filled mint mark. How hard is it to find a Double ear 84 or the AM varieties or even the 1995 DDO. I will keep searching although I may go blind doing it. Also do any of you ever find older nickels that are BU or have steps or is it a waste of time searching those roll. Thanks for your time and way to go y'all have made some great finds. Thanks Kent[/QUOTE]
