John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/26/2009 11:35 am I finally found a 1998 . What I would like from you guys is to grade it for me, I know it's not in the best condition. Also, what value would you give it in said grade? Thanks much, John1 Report this Post to the Staff

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 10/26/2009 4:16 pm i posted a nearly identical question. I found a 98 WAM last night. I found some info at " Lincoln Cent resource" website. values are listed as $3.00 in AU, $5.00 in MS60, $8.00 in MS 62. it just took me a bit of research time to find what I was looking for.

wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 10/26/2009 4:55 pm Well I'm not good at grading LMC's like this, but I'd give it an AU-50. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/26/2009 6:35 pm You would give it an AU 50? I was thinking at most EF40. But like I have said many times before, I'm real bad at grading. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

The first spot to wear on a modern memorial is the forehead. Notice how far that area has been rubbed down. EF-40, maybe VF-30/35. AU would show a slight rub on the forehead and it requires red luster, this coin has no red luster. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/28/2009 10:24 pm Nice find! Yep, I didn't think I'd see the day when a WAM graded below EF. What happens when these are F-15--big patches of bare zinc? Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19961 Posts	Posted 10/29/2009 8:03 pm You start losing details on the portrait, around the hair area. The rim protects these very well, most everyone struggles in grading them. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
