Hi, Over the years, I have found 8 or so each of 1998 and 2000 WAMs, in various conditions, and I have just found my first 1999 WAM, all from coin roll hunting. Since I am unsure of the current value of these, do you think it is worth getting any of these certified? I do not plan to sell these anytime soon, and I currently just have them stored in plain cardboard 2x2s. Thanks, in advance, for your valued opinions. |

Unless they are high grade,68 or higher then no. If you have a 1999 WAM then maybe if it grades 64 or higher. Check ebay sold for values. John1  |

Does it cost more to have a graded coin attributed and you have to specifically request it?

2000, & 1998 WAM's are more common so no on the certification BUT the 1999 is a scarcer coin with the WAM. IMO if the condition is exceptional I'd have it certified with the WAM designation. |

Can't wait to see pics. If the coin will not grade higher than 66 it is not worth grading IMO,

I was wondering at first why you said 66 dustin-but after looking I see these have come down quite a bit also in price lately

Here are the photos. I hope they are clear enough... The coin was obviously circulated and has a bit of zinc rot beginning to show... Likely not worth getting graded/certified...   |

Thanks for the advice. Do you know if there is anything I can do to stop the zinc rot from advancing?
