to the CCF!

The left leg of the M looks slimmer than the right in your photos. This can be caused by Die Deterioration or when some grease gets in the leg on the die and isn't clean out.

My hunch is that is is not a WAM. But to be sure we need to see a clear close up photo of the whole reverse.

I am fairly certain it's a Wide AM. Congrats!

However, the rare find is the 1999 WAM. I can't put a value on it, because the condition is indeterminable from the pics.

I agree it looks like a Wide AM to me, good eye I wouldn't get it graded personally. Some acetone and a 2x2 should be all it needs.
