Very nice, I'm beginning to feel like I am the only one to not find a WAM yet.

I'm with ya Enigmatic! Last night I had a CAM in my left hand and was searching for WAM with my right hand. I had looked at so many cents that my mind was starting to play tricks on me. And still no WAM!

I thought that the 2000 WAMs were the least common?

Very nice WAM! I've found a few 2000 and 1998 WAMs. The 1998 is the most common, then the 2000, and then the 1999 is quite rare.

I'm at 2700 pennies searched and still no WAM. I'm starting to wonder if I'm missing them by not using magnification... I'm checking the fg and it doesn't look close, guess I'm just not very lucky so far.

stev18, I have been through thousands also, even had boxes mailed up here in Alaska. I just happened to go to the market and ask for a roll of pennies and there it was. All in time. Good Luck

stev18, I have only found one 2000 WAM out of 22,500. Just keep on keepin on. I'm going through my tenth box of pennies since the beginning of February and not too much to speak of. A couple are questionable, but nothing jumped out.
