Found this afternoon roll searching 99P LMC Wide AM  . This is the 4th one I've found. 2 from Lawson die #2, 1 from Lawson die #3- crack down memorial steps and this one, which I can't match to any of the 4 known Lawson dies right now. Probably a LDS of either die 3 or 4.     Edited by chuckster 125

Thanks John1  I think I'd want to belt myself lately also with my recent finds.  Unfortunately, this coin has some "zinc rot" at the right base of lincoln's bust so the value is much lower, but if I ever decide to sell it, someone will get a 99 WAM at a discounted price. |

Congrats!
What condition are your other 2?
I have found 2 so far, the first has some issues but no zinc rot. My second is darn good for a 1999 zinc and was graded hear from AU58 to MS62.

Jayman I live in wyoming so I am 6 hours away from the denver mint when I open a roll I'll be lucky enough to pull 3/4 P's out of one roll.

Good job. 99s are hard to find. I'm dying to find a 96 or 97 WAM. a 96 was found, so I'm sure 97 exist too. |

What is the latest on the '96 WAM? Most of the experts seem to have debunked it but there has been little said about it recently. |

NO "legitimate 1996P WAM" has ever been found yet. The only "supposedly one" found was by "Bill Crawford" who then claimed it was stolen from him (under very suspect circumstances to say the least) and after that the leaders of the Numismatic Community DEBUNKED the find as never existing since NO ONE other than Bill Crawford had actually seen the coin in hand to authenticate its existance. *That's not to say one is not out there, but as of right now, no 1996P LMC WAM has been found.* Edited by chuckster 125
