I believe someone claimed to have found a 1992 Close AM penny just recently, but the more commonly known one (which is still rare) is the 1992-D Close AM.

Congrats on your first year Mr. Marine......very nice totals. You have accumulated about 15 pounds of silver. Just in halves, your out of pocket is about $500 and the melt value is a little over $2000 at current silver prices which is surely going to go up in the next 2-3 months. That is a $1500 profit!!

It seems like there would be a law against enjoying a wonderful hobby like this one so much and then make a few dollars doing it....lol.

Good luck on your goals in 2009. Keep plugging and keep em coming....................
