WAM's are found on 1998P, 1999P and 2000P.
CAM's have been found on 1992D and 1 or 2 1992P. These are exceptionally rare.

You can see the spread, or lack thereof, with a magnifying glass, but you'll need stronger magnification to spot the difference in the initials.

Newbismatic,
I was SO going use that title for my post when I found my first WAM, but I haven't found any yet and you beat me to it! Great minds think alike, I guess.
Oh, and congratulations!

I just posted in this thread the other day that I was still searching for my first WAM. Must have been good luck because I just pulled a 1998 from a roll about 10 minutes ago!! If I can get my wife to show me how to use the scanner/copier, I'll get pics up.

Nice find for being in change or rolls.
Hopefully this doesn't mean one less for me to find.

Congrats on the find. I've searched many a box and have not found any WAM's other than 1998 models. At least not yet. They are something to hold on to for sure. With zincolns literally rotting away with time. Take care of it, its becoming more rare every day.
