Nice find CND! Better than not having one at all, like some of us!

That's always my fear when I'm about to turn over a nasty '99 or '92 - bummer! Maybe Thad's product can help it a little bit?

I have never found anything worth keeping, and seeing this wants to make me run to the bank. Great find!

I think it is too far gone for even BadThad's stuff. Sad.

Awesome and rare find! If you wish it was a 98 WAM, I got 3-4 I'd give you for it!

VERDI-CARE™ could help that coin a LOT. It's an idea candidate for conservation. I've tested in on many similar coins. Here's one:

CND, nice find anyway. You can conserve it the best you can and put it on ebay. Label it as "rare" and sell it for what you think you can get. Then use the money for something more eye-appealing. That way you won't say "**@$@!@@#" every time you look at it.. Still a tough coin to find!

WOW! Less than a hundred known. The WAM's of those three years are keys. Great find, no matter the condition.

those all look like Close AM's (am being close and a gap between the M and E

I thought the AM deal was " AM ERICAN" is A narrow AM being the AM leaves a gap between the ERICAN

the Wide AM is ( AMERICAN ) with even spaces between them all.

LOL. I looked at the 1997 also and thought my meds were off again. LOL

Great find ! That is the kind of thing that keeps us going. Just a bit of luck once in a while. And a single find will motivate you for a lifetime !

Congrats
