No MORE looking for it.

*Like Chuck said usually happens- found it near the end of the next to the last roll I was going to look thru for tonight. I had found zippo tonight before this!

Congrats! Man, I'm bummed. All we get out here in California are Denvers. I have a huge bag of LMC's to go through. I am looking for varieties at this point.

These are exceedingly difficult to find. Only a few hundred of them out there to my knowledge. I don't know what they commonly sell for, but at last check, BU examples were selling for hundreds of dollars. This one is a slightly abused AU, I would think if BU specimens were $300-$500, this one should garner at least $100 if sold.

Still yet, this is much better than the $10 1998 or the $5 2000.

Many thanks to all!

Chuck:

According to the Lincoln Resource, a 99 Wide AM graded as AU is around $275.00, if this is an abused AU, I agree it should be worth at least a C note, maybe possibly a little more.

Definitely the hardest to find and worth the most of the 3 Business Strikes.
Rest in Peace

GREAT FIND!

I've found one 1999, 4 1998's, and something like 13 2000's. But, the 99 makes you catch your breath when you find it! Don't give up; keep looking!

I've got a 44 ounce Speedway cup filled to the top with circulated 2000's to go through when I get a chance, so the 2000 total will probably go up.

coppernickeldaddy:

Yeah- I gave it a double-take at first , then I must of turned it over 2 or 3 times to make sure it was a 1999 and not a 1990 or 1993 and then looked at the AM and initials a few times more just to be sure, before I let out with a .

I'll still keep looking, but it's really nice to have the "Triplets"

I have a real nice pair of 1998 and 2000 Wide AM's- MS 64/65 Grade

This coin is going to look great in the middle!

Congrats! Chuckster.

I chuckled at your last comment about the double-take and checking and rechecking. That's how I was when I found my first Wide AM and that was only on the more common 2000.
