So far from 110,000 coins searched - zero for all years, (I live San Diego, where 98-99-00 Denver coins predominate.)

1998 WAM- 8
1999 WAM- 0
2000 WAM- 0

This is out of about 30 boxes of Dunbar coins searched in SE KY.

Other notable finds....
1910 P cent - 3
1920 P cent - 1
1930 P cent - 1

2 cent German coin - 1
Plastic fake penny - 1

Besides the WAM cents, the plastic coin got me the most excited. I mean, how does that happen? It can be found in my whitman folder today marked as a dateless cent from the future. Plastic is afterall the cheaper alternative to zinc for the cent, and may even be the only alternative for a cent that won't cost more to mint than its worth. :)

i also live in North County San Diego and A LOT of DENVER mints come through.

since last summer I have been very lucky to have found:

1998...1
1999...1
2000...1

not bad for a wets coaster right?

i cannot seem to find many of these, as the philly cents rarely come out this way. no luck with the 92 CAMs or other varieties either.. jsut copper, which I sell a $25 box for $50.. any profit is good profit

numismo,
I have been searching for WAMs since 2000. That is when I first read about them and started looking. I found most of them in the early years. I haven't seen that many in the last couple years. Last month I found two 1999-WAMs in one day. That was a thrill. I have some of them in tubes that I want to take them out to photograph and put in 2x2s, but I am still thinking about using airtites and then 2x2s like the way BadThad has.
