I'm still flipping it...
No really, I found at least a dozen of these, I flipped it over and it turns out to be a 1990

I think this deserves at least one dancing fruit

I'm pretty sure this a good find! Mine telling a beginner how to identify WAM? I understand that the A and M are more seperated than usual... but is there anything else? Something easier to recognize? D:

And what years are worth it?

it's the Wide AM. look at the AM and the FG to tell. it is on the 98-2000 the 99 being the one you want

How would I tell, though? I didn't know the FG was a sign, too. Please, elaborate!

I'm another noob. Just curious how much are these so-called "WAMs" worth?

Here is a enlarged section of the wide A M
Normally, these two letters are for the most part touching
The distace of the FG from the memorial is closer.
This WAM show a RedBook value of about 10.00

Congrats! It's exciting to find one of these. I found two 1998's before I found a 2000. The biggest find was my 1999 WAM, it's at NGC right now....can't wait to get it back! I've looked at thousands of 1999's and gave up hope of ever finding a WAM, I'm stil in shock.
