What do you guys think about the grade? I think it's AU-50 with some corrosion (there's a spot of verdigris on the reverse).

Okay, I'm going to the bank for a box of cents. I'll toss the wheats aside for a couple of weeks and dig through the change. Being in Southern Florida, I should find plenty of these ' Wide AM' thingys that have eluded me now for all the five years I've been looking for them. Color me officially JEALOUS.

Nice Find,

The dumbest thing I ever did was sell a bunch of the 1999 dated ones for 25 bucks a piece before their rarity was established. They are out there for all three years, you just gotta keep diggin'

Have Fun,
Bill

I'll tell you what, if this can get the Grand Master of Lincoln cents to the bank for roll searching, I consider this forum's job complete!

Well done Thad.

Oh, and Chuck, good luck.

Great Find!

I've actually found three of these in the past year. Two were in the same batch of rolls. Still looking for a '99 though.
