chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 3:17 pm Found this 98 Wide AM this afternoon It's by far the best Wide AM I've found of any year 98,99 or 2000 grade wise. It has a greenish/purple spot on the reverse in between the E&S of States (NOT VERDIGRIS) and some spots by the AM on the reverse also, but overall it has real nice lustre and eye appeal and the details are very sharp. Think this would grade out in the MS area? Report this Post to the Staff

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 4:10 pm That's a keeper. I've found so many of the 98s that I no longer retain them unless they are a high BU condition. My personal feeling is the 98s are easier to find than the 2000s. 37 verses 14. When all is said and done, I just don't believe these wide AMs are going to amount to much. 99s being an exception, only 3 of those so far. Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 5:05 pm That's about 100% more than I've found MorgansRmine. Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 5:50 pm MorgansRmine: My count is the opposite. I have more 2000's than 98's- at last count over twenty 2000's versus seven of the 98's and I've only found one 99. I'll hold on to any new one's I'm lucky enough to find, regardless of grade. :) Report this Post to the Staff
MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 5:51 pm rocks, checked your profile, I see why. I've 4 that I'm about to toss out if you want them. Not the best best but wide. chuckster, being retired, I go through between 3 to 5 thousand a week and haven't found a 2000 in a couple of months. Weird.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 7:44 pm chuckster125, I noticed that no one gave you a grade on you coin.If you found it in your change or a circulated bank roll then technically it can't be an Unc. or MS,but I would say it's definitely AU58 if not a MS60. Keep in mind I am not a pro. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 8:55 pm MorgansRMine: Same here. I'm also retired and I usually go thru $10.00 a day, 7 days a week. A TD bank by me is open on Sundays also! Definitely goes in spurts on finding Wide AM's (98's and 2000's) I have gone 2/3 months + without finding any and then in the space of a few days end up finding a couple. You just don't know what's going to surface everytime you open a roll, that's one of the things (IMHO) which makes this hobby so great! Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 06/24/2009 10:49 pm Hmm...my numbers. 1998 - 2. 1999 - 0. 2000 - 2. The grade of the coin in the first post of this thread appears to be MS65RD. Report this Post to the Staff
