After $400 in pennies I found my first WAM

It was a 2000 and it had like a battery acid

mark above Lincolns head (naturally) .

My real first error coin in coin roll hunting.

Man when I seen the first sign was how close

the FG ( Frank Gasparro ) was to the memorial.

I had doubts to what I saw.

Pulled out my loop and WOW it was a 2000 WAM.

So all coin roll hunters keep hunting.

Eventually you will find a special coin.

Cool. Thanks for posting. My second day on the site and I'm learning things. I didn't know about the WAM. I've already texted my son to let him know about it. He is the big penny collector in our family. He often stops at the bank to get several rolls.

Great find! Still a keeper and should go in a 2x2 for protection.
