Hey gang, I was thinking of selling this coin... Ken Potter said he pays $50-$75 for circulated examples, no telling what it might bring on ebay because I can't find any for sale or recently sold to compare it to.  Would there be any interest from the members here on the forum?  |

Hi bmanofnbc, Personally, IMHO, and all due respect to Mr Potter, but I think $50 to $75.00 is WAY under priced for your coin based on the photo and condition . Check PCGS price guide to get at least a gage on what it might bring as a graded slabbed example and go from there. I checked E-bay just yesterday, and there were NO 1999 Wide AM's listed for sale. I'm still trying to find one the hard way (Searching ) and it's not in the budget right now, ( I just purchased 8 slabbed coins on ebay today- package deal) but I'm sure some member would be interested in buying it from you for the right price. Good luck and congrats again on finding one of them! |

Thanks Chuckster!
PCGS online guide starts at MS63 and I don't think this coin would go any higher then Au50 or so.

bmanofnbc, great find!! Of course I would ask a favor to help enlighten me. Your close up of the AM is fantastic. Would you mind posting a close up of a Close AM for comparison purposes? It would be great if you could get it to about the same size too so it's easy to see apples to apples.  |

Just a side thought: Not saying this is faked, but real. Something that could happen is to make one of these like they do the magicians coins. The hollow out a 1999 Cent and add a reverse from a wide A M. (Or vise versa?) This could happen as coins are faked especially so on the higher dollar coin range. If this thought occurred to me, then others also could think of it. So be careful in buying higher dollar coins with this thought in mind. Remember the way that most magicians coins can be detected is toward the rim, there is a groove where they fit together. 1916-D Dimes could be faked the same way. So keep this in mind. and know what to check for.
