Last Sept I posted that my bank called & had a customer who had been saving pennies since 1963. I got all the rolls & finished going thru them by hand I was kind of disappointed and it seemed that someone kept most of the wheat backs.
Out of $638.50 in pennies I got 95 wheaties ( all common dates) and $485.75 in 95% copper or Canadian. No wide AMs, no double dies. A high % of copper but I was hoping for more wheat backs.

I wouldn't be complaining if I got nearly a quarter ton of copper that easily.

I think you did very well given your Cu %. Congrats on pulling in that much Cu!

Yeah, would have been nice to get some rare stuff but 80% Cu that easily is nice.

I thought I asked a question though because I don't know what wide AM means. any help?

Wide AM means the spacing on "America" the reverse of pennies on certain years is too wide. I think it is pennies struck with a proof die or something. I was about to cut and past some info from Wikipedia, but there is a blackout because our a-hole government is thick in the process of another unconstitutional power grab.

This site will answer most of your Wide AM questions.
