Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10485 Posts	Posted 10/25/2025 9:55 pm Plus you didn't say what date it is. 1992-P&D has the WAM and CAM - the CAM being valuable. 1998-P, 1999-P, and 2000-P have the WAM and CAM - the WAM's being the ones to look for. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21587 Posts	Posted 10/26/2025 07:49 am Always put the date and mint mark and of your coin in the heading. Not all years or mint marks have both a WAM and a CAM. Some years are only a CAM and other years are only a WAM. Edited by JimmyD 10/26/2025 09:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
