My 2nd 1999 WAM. I had to check about 700-800 98-00's and got it on my 10th to last coin.

You are on fire! That is incredible.


Congrats on another amazing find!

Nice find! Still think you should get out and party more, but...

 

[Coppercrazy]

This one might be grade worthy I think too!

Argg! I'm almost 3,000 '98-'00s in, and no '99 yet. GREAT find; finding a '99 WAM is my #1 cent goal for 2012.

 

[Coppercrazy]

Oh no, I've searched probably 15,000 98's-00's for the WAMs it was just the 700-800 batch I had. It was major goal for 2012 never got it until a few days ago, then got this one today!

I wish you luck! They aren't easy to find!

Nice find! What part of the country are you in? I live out west and P mint varieties are virtually impossible to find here since most of our coins are from Denver. Too bad, cuz nearly all the good ones ('72, '83, '84 dbl dies, most Close/Wide AMs) are P mint. I did manage to score a '72 about 25 years ago. It must have hitchhiked it's way out west in someone's pocket or purse.

Haha, I'm in Northeast Ohio. I'd say about 70-75% of the coins are P mint. Cents produce very well for me where I'm at. 25-30% copper, wheats are ok but my indian head average is 1:20 boxes which is pretty good. I have many WAMs, 16 I think. Going to start looking for all the dbl dies when my magnifier comes in from amazon. This is why I love cents more than silver honestly. Always guaranteed something, big scores every once in a while, and profit off the copper cents.

Nice find Coppercrazy!

Another great find Coppercrazy! Finding one is tough enough but 2? You should play the lottery. WTG! That one looks to be in nicer condition then the 1st.

I don't know if this makes me feel better, or not

Haha you'll get there it just took me a ton of searching is the point.

I know grade matters a lot but are these wide AMs worth a pretty penny?

 

[Coppercrazy]

Yes they are. The 99's at least

 

[Joshr29]

Yes they are. The 99's at least

Awesome! Isn't that two back to back for you?

 

[Coppercrazy]

Awesome! Isn't that two back to back for you?

Yes it is, trying to sell them on eBay, so I can up my bankroll. My bankroll is around $500 right now. I'm not spending any money except $8 every couple of weeks for an XF/AU indian head at my LCS. Trying to build it up to $1,000 plus a ryedale. I'm selling everything I own pretty much. The way I look at it, is the ryedale is an investment. My parents don't see it but I do.

What's your workflow for selling copper? Or do you just hoard? Thinking of starting to fill a Home Depot bucket but want to think out the process. I've seen folks sell and ship those prepaid USPS boxes by weight. Curious what folks do. Thanks! HH

I date check and then put them into an old fish bowl. When I get close to filling it up, I weigh it and when it's over 34lbs I separate it into 2 17lb hefty gallon storage bags. Then I take a picture of it list it on ebay, .99c auction + $13.45 shipping for 3 days. Usually go between $75-$80. After fees and supplies I make about $15-20 on the $50 lots. Medium Flat rate boxes are a life saver. Packaged with strapping tape and almost the whole box is covered in regular packing tape
