Please take a look at this 1998 penny with the Wide AM - WAM error. Found searching a bag of pennies from the bank. My first 1998 WAM.

Yes indeed that is the desired WAM reverse. Congratulations.

If you wish to grow in this hobby I politely suggest that you need to learn the correct terminology.

An error is a one of a kind accident that happened on only one coin.

A variety is a difference in how the die was made and shows up on every coin struck by that die.

You WAM cent is a Variety, not an Error.

Nice find. Just an FYI though... Not an error, a variety.
