I'm hardly an expert on these, but my guess would be yes on all 3!

Thanks guys, that's good news. I guess they aren't too rare. Is the 1992 close common. Are there any sources for circulation on these coins?

Thanks, Mike

The 1992 close AMs are the rarest ones with only a few known. I have never seen any estimated numbers of existing pieces, just relative rarities. Here is a rarity list from Lincoln Cent Resource -

1. 1992 Close AM - extremely rare
2. 1998 S Close AM
3. 1992 D Close AM
4. 1999 S Close AM
5. 1999 Wide AM
6. 1998 Wide AM
7. 2000 Wide AM - least rare

Great finds, Mike and welcome to the forum. Now, best of luck finding that 1999. I have been looking for a long long time.
Jim
