I'm waiting for the misses to get home with the camera. In the meantime, that comment about the distance between the A and M being the same as the M and E has me second guessing myself. I would feel pretty silly thinking I had a Wide AM and its not. I'll post the photos in about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I'll let the community decide on this one. There is a huge gap between the M and E, but not as much between the A and M. BTW, no die rotation on this coin. I'll post photos of my two 98 WAMs as well. I could be missing the mark on all of these. Hopefully not though. Edited by Chadwick

Of course, the pictures will help. If the gap between the M and E is larger than the gap between the A and M then the likelihood is that the coin was damaged, the strike was a little weak or as occasionally seen, the die was polished to remove clash marks causing a slight separation between the bases of the A and M.
Still post a picture and we will be able to tell for sure. There is never anything to be feel silly about:-)
Thanks,
Bill

I found a 96 the other day I at first thought was a WAM but when I looked at FG or the space between ME I knew it was not. Cant wia to see the pictures |

From the pictures: The Bad News- the 1996 is not a Wide AM  Bummer! The Good News- your 1998 is a Wide AM!  |

I also agree,
1996 - No
1998 - Yes
This thread gives you another easy diagnostic to look for and that is the spacing of the lower parts of the A, M and E.
Have Fun,
Bill
PS: keep looking. There has to be another 1996 out there someplace.

'fraid not on the 1996. The one I had a little while ago was actually comprised of 2 different coins glued together. Lots of discussion about it.
Good find on the 1998
