1999 WAM....here Or Ebay?

I see maineman your point,

But if someone is offering $75 un slabbed raw for a well worn 99 WAM ?
No need in spending another $30+ to have it slabbed only gonna eat into any profit.Thats prob why the guy didnt slab it , he could sell ether way for the same price. Being its not a MS coin

I didnt say they were worthless. I only stated more have been found and they are not as rare as they once were
I think the lincohncent resource even changed the 99 WAM from " rare " to scarce on there scale of uniqueness
93 WAM still rare

With any coin varation like this the more that are discovered, the more on the market, the supply is up but will the demand follow?

My prediction is I doubt the market will be strong if people keep finding them at this rate

Its not like they turn up on ebay once or twice a year , 99's are on ebay at all times.
But how man 93 WAM's do you see ?
someone could open a 10,000 1999 cent mint bag or 93 mint bag and unleash 10,000 99 or 93 Wide AM's on the market

Thats the problem with this type of coin how many more will be found in 10-20-30 years ?
the amount found only goes up. Will collector intrest follow?

One more little tidbit for you..when the 83 DDR came out, I could have bought BU examples for $50 all day long, but because a bunch of them were found in my area, we thought they were going to be common...I found two but am still kicking myself for not scooping up a bunch. Nobody knows what the trend will be in 10,20,30 years. 500 may sound like a bunch, but it means nothing when you have a million collectors.

mainman you are CORRECT !

I had not looked up the wams in awhile.

http://www.varietyvista.com/Lincoln...0Changes.htm
92 99 are ex rare
98 rare
00 scarce

it listed them all as rare a few years back ,
now the 00 have dropped down a notch to "scarce"
the 99's went "ex-rare"
the 98's are still " rare "

looks like 00's went from rare to scarce.

Does not mean the 99's in 10 years wont be dropped down to just " scarce"

of they might be even more rare if people stop finding um ,

Good call on the worn die 99 I thought I had a WAM 99 but after looking closer it was just a warn die
but it did appear to be seprated between the A M but the space between the M E was wider then the wams
making it a obvious Close AM

The 1955-d DD
is here , I thought it was the same seller

this guy is asking 325$ for this one.
http://cgi.ebay.com/1955-D-Lincoln-...em56416707b5

thats why I'm not sure if I can really have a argument about that 55-d being returned if it goes as far as court
all the guy has to do is use ebay as his ref point.

Well, who has the best 99 WAM here? I'd like to see a picture.

Then I kept this one:

I see the first one was slabbed by NGC. I'm leaning towards them with both of mine to get graded. Can't seem to pull the trigger yet.
