Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/17/2019 12:16 pm Whether they are normal would depend on their dates, the Wide AM coin now has a fingerprint which if not immediately removed will eventually etch itself into the surface of the coin.

DeLoss Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 12/23/2019 7:07 pm Ones a 1998 and the back 1 is a 99 . That'd be cool if I did find them . I bought 20 rolls of pennies and went through half . It took 4 hrs . My neck still hurts . Going through the other uncrimped rolls now . I'm glad I found SOMETHING & . I HAVE a Close AM from 2000 and the A overlaps the M . I'll post it later .

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15959 Posts	Posted 12/24/2019 06:18 am Concur if the coin shown against your finger is dated 1998 then it is indeed a WAM. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
