I think a lot has to do with grandpa passing away and people just cashing in the coins not knowing what they had. Same goes for kids getting into dads stash when no ones looking.

Tonight I found a 2000 Wide AM penny and am pretty happy about it. It's in near uncirculated condition too. The last 1K of halves I did, I only found two 40%'ers. That's good enough!
