meckl9 Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 10:50 am Could someone please explain the term WAM? I have been reading a lot about WAM's individuals are searching for amongst the many Lincolns in circulation. My assumption would be " Wide AM"? So should I be searching for a wider AM on the reverse of the coin in AMERICA? Thanks. What years should I be looking for? Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 11:11 am 1998,1999,2000. I believe there is a 1996 Wide AM as well. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 03/08/2009 12:53 pm Considering that a 1996 just popped up, and it is conceivable that other years might have the same situation, you might want to do what I do: check the reverse of EVERY Philadelphia cent from 1993 on. Very time consuming, but consider all of the fanfare that will surround you if you are the first to discover a 2001 WAM, or something like that. Worth the effort to me! Report this Post to the Staff
