homiegrubbs Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 05/25/2008 8:39 pm Hi all, hope everyone is haveing a great Memorial weekend? I found these 2 Wide AM's LM cents while searching through a Brinks box of circulated cents. I've found numerous 2000 & 1998 Wide AM's over the last few months but these are the best specimens I've found so far. I would grade the 98 as AU55 and the 2000 as AU50. Your grading opinions would be greatly appreciated. Bill Report this Post to the Staff

coffeegod Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 05/26/2008 9:40 pm I'm still yet to find any...... I don't think they exist here in the N.W. Sort of like BigFoot..... you hear about them only. Buying them just takes away from the hunt...... though I might have to break down & make a purch ASE Report this Post to the Staff

Sort of like BigFoot Yes, the stuff of legend only, because so few P-cents make their way out West. I'd suggest swapping cents with someone back East. Thanks to a collector out that way, I found two '98 wide AMs. Edited by KurtS 05/26/2008 9:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lperry3 Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 05/26/2008 10:04 pm Definitely a couple more great finds. Both coins should grade high! We on the D coast can hope for the every elusive 1992 D Close AM. Although only a few have been found so far we can always hope. Report this Post to the Staff
homiegrubbs Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 4:17 pm I would be willing to send a box or two to the west coast but shipping costs may not be worth it. If inerested please email me. Bill Report this Post to the Staff
homiegrubbs Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 4:21 pm I just calculated the cost to send to CA and it's as much as the cost of the Brinks box, $25.00 :-( Report this Post to the Staff

honestabe Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 05/28/2008 5:14 pm I have only found one Wide A M, 1998, but I will continue to look for the 99 and 2000. Someone is selling the 98 wide A M for $27.00 on the internet, circulated. http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/...arieties.htm Report this Post to the Staff
