SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/17/2021 7:57 pm Close AM is the norm for 1998. You want a WAM. The CAM/WAM varieties to remember are: 1992 P/D: Close AM = very rare 1998 P: Wide AM = rare 1998 S: Close AM = rare 1999 P: Wide AM = quite rare 1999 S: Close AM = rare 2000 P: Wide AM = between scarce and rare Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/18/2021 06:51 am Thanks John, Congrats on 39900 posts... contest time? ;) Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/18/2021 07:47 am I mentioned this a few time in the past,I held a couple of contests that did not go very well so I am more than hesitant to have anymore. I do try and encourage all members to have at least one contest or even a giveaway ( I held one or two ) as you may have noticed though. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/18/2021 08:51 am @John makes sense. I don't really buy any coins, so most of my collection has sentimental value to me as personal coin roll hunting finds or else things I was given by friends and family. Unfortunately, don't really own many interesting things I wouldn't regret parting with. Report this Post to the Staff
