My answer is a big "GOOSE EGG". I've been searching forever for them and always come up empty handed. Maybe if I stop looking one will land in my direction.

Hey coins, guess you mean close AMs on the 1992s. That or you knew a BIG secret about the 1998, 1999 and 2000 in the early 1990s. Jim

Lots of replies but still no estimate of total numbers minted.

Jim, I corrected my post. I was a little excited trying to count how many WAMs I have. I think I better start rereading my post before I post it.  Rich

This is a question that will never be answered. LOL
I made a post some time ago with my educated guesses based on several factors. I don't remember what I wrote or where the post is.....and I'm not going to recalculate it again. As I recall it took me about an hour!
Personally, I've found more 98's than 2000's by a wide margin. I've only found two 99's, so there's no doubt they are rare.

I have found 13 1998's, 2 2000;s and I 1999. I just live a couple hundred miles from Bad Thad so I am not surprised our numbers are similar. I do think that there is some geographic bias. I also believe the numbers proposed early on by Ken Potter are significantly off. His numbers were based on ebay searches and I don't know if he has revised his population estimates(see Ken Potter's article on WAM's,I will see if I can find it again and post it.) Actually Ken did NOT give numbers,just comparative rarity. Here is the article. http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/...arieties.htm

That article was from june last year. Tide seems to have turned on rarity. 98,2000,then 99 in that order. When the final tally comes in (which may take some time) it may follow a natural progression. 98,99,2000. I only found 4 2000's so far in 3 years. I'm in new england. By the way, Seeing as I have seen both of the 92 close in hand, I will find number 3 :) Both coins came from Massachusetts.

Quote: it may follow a natural progression. 98,99,2000 I have to disagree that will ever happen. The 1999 is very well confirmed amongst searchers as scare. If the tide was going to ever turn, it would have by now.
