I mean, what luck huh? Look at the condition its in. Amazing I think.   Probably not worth grading but if you got an opinion, please share *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***

Nice catch!  I agree it's not worth grading, but still worth more than face, and that's always a good thing. I have yet to find any CAMs or WAMs in circulation.

Ive I think found 4 or 5 2000 WAMs and have found atleast the same or 1 to 2 more in 98s. No Denvers and from good to horrible condition across them all. I'm new to CRHing goin on about 2 years and always have the hardest time with double dies and just about everything else as well. As far as "my judgement", these.....I cant really go wrong with pickin them out correctly. But ive literally stopped posting pics an even bringing up WAMs, cause they're basically the only variety I pretty much got down pat and I get all excited when others seem to kinda feel like ahh, no big deal. But this one I had to share. Everyone on here helps me out a lot and corrects me each time but then also teaches me why and what I'm doing wrong as well. Which by the way, I really appriciate alot. But I figured I'd share my weekend catch with the community. Nicest WAM ive pulled out in this condition by far.

That is a nice one. Getting harder to pull any good stinkin zinkins outta where I'm at, they're all really nasty. A year ago it was loads better, really went down hill, I pretty much have given up on CRHing cents, lat few boxes ha I've 70% those worthless shield design. Just no interest to even look for errors on those.

Im in the foothills of the Smokeys an the gettins good here. Boxes are still 90% copper. Occasionally youll get a shield box but if that happens its one year in the whole box. Last year ill never forget, I was even more green at this hobby than now and I picked two boxes up on the way home from work...got home an one box was all spankn new 2015s an the other was a full box of the first "P" mint mark holders 2017 Ps. I got to admit, first glance I was pretty upset an even more upset that they were so shiny I couldnt look at more than 5-10 rolls before having to take a break to let the colorful blinding floating spots a chance to disappear from my vision. Pretty blinding with my magnifier an light... but all in all it wasnt so bad. An those only come around once a year anyway so... I'm very pleased most of the time with my keepers ...besides I got alot to learn still an it keeps me occupied enough to stay out of trouble

Very nice! I've found two of those in the wild and while in good shape they're not that good!

Even longer ride though (which we did once,) especially on the way back.. Nice backyard for you.. Hope they're able to continue keeping the kudzu from encroaching into that section.. Swamp

The staff moved your post just so it was in the correct section, plus you'll get more proper attention for it since we're aware of the variety. Definitely a very nice score, especially in that condition!
