Chadwick Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 11/22/2018 2:22 pm Grim circumstances is forcing me to sell my entire coin collection. I plan on setting up an appointment with Jonathan K. Kern to offer my collection to him. From my phone conversation, I got the impression that he isn't interested in WAM cents. I have quite a few of them in my collection. All of them found in the wild years ago when I would search boxes on top of boxes for them. I have a bunch of 1998's a couple 2000's and one mostly red example of a 1999 WAM. After all these years, what has the state of these WAM cents become? Are they a thing or not? And what are they worth? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/22/2018 2:53 pm Sorry to here about your grim circumstances,care to divulge? The one with the highest value as you know is the 99. It would sell for more if slabbed. Unless the others are in a higher grade,I am afraid there isn't all that much value there. You can check ebay sold values to get an idea of current values. I hope all turns out well in the end for you,good luck. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/22/2018 7:37 pm The 1999, if as noted is mostly red, would start around $50 and go up from there depending on actual condition. The 1998 and 2000 would be $1 or $2 each as a bulk lot. A really strong MS-64 or better example might go as much as $10 but they are slow to sell and so having some good ones in there is merely a way to make sure your bulk set sells as few are looking to buy them. I mix them in with other error coins when I sell off a bulk lot as people do want them but won't buy them separately for enough to be worth trying to sell them individually.

Chadwick Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 11/22/2018 10:25 pm Thank you for the posts. Things are as I expected. With time allowing many more examples to be found, the value of the WAM has fallen. I may remove them from my collection and try to sell them as a set of WAM's on ebay. I'll give Mr. Kern the first chance to nab them out of courtesy. Although, he may not be interested. We'll see. As for indulging in the circumstances, sure. Why not. My wife of 11 years, and the bread winner of the family, has decided that she no longer wants to be in my presence. Surprise divorce. This comes at a time while I'm in my last year of graduate school. So I'm super busy, and broke at the same time. It's a three year program I'm in, so I'm not backing out now for anything. After all, it isn't going to be a second income now, it is going to be my primary income. Christmas is coming up, and I want to be able to eat. I also need to get my the kid something too, from daddy. I didn't see this coming at all. It sideswiped me completely. All is not lost though. This is only a rough bump in the road. I'm happier single surrounded by friends than married to a wife that shows no affection at all. I'm really not sad to see it end. Although the timing is really bad, possibly intentional, I don't know for sure. Either way, it doesn't matter. It's over and done. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe a bit of weight was lifted from you with telling us that. Hang in there and good luck and wishes to you and your family. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
