The '98's and '00's may be the more "common" WAM's, but they're still hard and fun to find! |

Since starting back in to roll searching in August, this coin was in my 24th $25.00 box. Now if only I could find a 92 CAM.  |

I have probably found some in the past and pitched them in the dump pile! how rare are the WAM's anyway? |

WAM stands for Wide AM (as in AMERICA)..the distance between A and M is supposed to be almost nil on a correctly minted 98,99,00 but they mistakenly used a proof reverse pattern die which has a noticable seperation between A & M. The 98's and 2000's are fairly common, but the 99 is considered pretty rare. Do a search on Wide AM, pictures will explain better than words.

I have no experience when it comes to WAMs, only what I read on this blog. But is the variation in this Lincoln Penny the spacing between the A and the M in America, that makes it so special? |
