From what I understand there are also large groups of young people in active Facebook and instagram groups.  No personal experience here as I don't have accounts in social media. Exactly, that is why there is such a large interest in errors and varieties today.  It is the only thing you have any realistic chance of finding in pocket change or rolls today.  You really have no chance finding an SVDB, a 14 D, heck even common silver is very unlikely.  But could you find  a 99 WAM?  Yes, we even had someone recently turn up a 92 D CAM cent.  A 72 , 84, 95 DDO is rare but they do still turn up.  Errors and varieties are the go to items for todays  young people hoping to find SOMETHING good in their change.[/QUOTE]
