This was my first time searching for WAMs, so I was pretty excited even though it is in terrible shape. 2000 WAM LMC 1973S Proof 1934 LWC Report this Post to the Staff

I have quite a few that look VERY good of 68s-74s and was hoping yours was so I could compare them to see if any of mine are proofs. Didn't mean to devalue you find in any way. :( Edited by shadz 03/08/2014 06:54 am Report this Post to the Staff

Sadly, the 2000 WAM looks like it was at the bottom of the pickle jar, but an exciting find too. And you can't go wrong with an old LWC find. Productive jar! Report this Post to the Staff
