Did you find it in local individual bank rolls or were they coin wrapped like String & Sons etc? or loose in change?
Thanks for the info.

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.  |
