Long time lurker here from the armpit of America, southwestern Connecticut. I have handsorted a decent amount of copper, around 400 pounds, I'm getting 24% from string rolls here. I like looking for errors so I don't think I'll be investing in a ryedale. Just wanted to say thanks for all the information you guys/maybe gals provide. Keep hoarding those PM's.

1992 Close AM (Super Rare have not found one) 1998 1999 2000 Wide AM's are my bread and butter being close to philly. 1983 double die reverse and the 84 double ear DDO, 1983 Brassy Planchet. I don't bother looking for the older copper errors as they have already been cherry picked most likely. I do check all my 1970 S's for the small date though.

I might be slightly insane but i check my 96 zincolns for the wide AM aswell. Probably will never pay off but theres rumors they exist.

"armpit"........I guess you've never been to the industry area of northwest indiana. Be thankful!
But welcome!

Welcome to the forum. Sounds as if you have been at it for a while. I look for errors at times, but it seems to slow my cu search. Time seems to be growing shorter as the fiat weakens. Happy sorting & stacking!!

Welcome. I've never searched ANY of my zincs. No time. Heck, I have to make time just to sort for copper, hehe. Once again, welcome and keep up the searches.

When my college roommate told us that his hometown of Trenton, NJ was selected as an All American City the joke was that it was the armpit of the state & the crotch of the nation.

I have a number of wide AMs that I just put aside. Don't know what I will do with them yet. I know that someone on here said that they were getting big bucks on Ebay, I believe. I do not have an ebay account soooooooo. Maybe I could put them on here in the trade thread.
