Given how many WAMs have been reported on this forum, I find those numbers hard to believe, Legend.

Legend,what is your thinking to arrive at those numbers? I have seen other folks estimates,most based on ebay auctions. Just curious how you arrived at your numbers. |

3 in the last 2 days is awesome! I average finding one every 200 days! If legends figures are right, then you own almost 2.5% of all '98 WAM's by yourself! And if they are really driving you crazy, PM me and I will help you with your sanity a little. I don't recall hearing of any doubled die WAM's. I'd sure like to see one, though. |

But i'd like to ask aprox. how many rolls do you search per week and are they mostly bank wrapped rolls or CWR? I average about the same as you Scooby Due and I searc aprox. 5 boxes per week.

I do about a box a week on average. Of these 3, 2 were from the same box and one from customer rolls. I would guess(since I didn't keep statistics) that they are about equal from boxes and cwr.

Daviscfad,,I know that BadThad is in southern Ohio and he has found way more 98's than 99 or 2000. I am in central Ohio and somebody else, don't remember who it was from New Jersey had similar results. It does appear to be geographic. Maybe we need to start a thread for everyone to submit their WAM stats to see if we can see a distinct trend and maybe be able to rationally estimate populations of each variety. I have no doubt that 99's are rare but I am not convinced 2000's are rarer(or at least MUCH rarer) than 98's. |

A thread on this would be a great idea. I'm in Central Oklahoma and lately the pickin's have been slim, not even much copper lately.

I've found quite a few 98 WAM's (like 10), two 99's and like two or three 2000's. For me the 2000's are as elusive as the 99's!  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

I've also found many more 98s than 2000 WAMs. The relative scarcity of these two dates has been discussed before. I think they should be priced the same.

It would seem that the Southern Ohio area is a hot bed for the Wide AM's, based on what other members are reporting. I have come up with: 1998-23 1999-3 (all within a year) 2000-17 I have also found 4 of the 1995 DDO's within a few months of each other; 3 came from the same bank. I also go through 2 boxes of halves a week, with an occasional box of nickels. |
