First thought is indeed struck through a capped die. Great find indeed!  Second thought ... are you sure it is a 1999 BadThad? .... because then it becomes a dancing fruit WAM as well.  Only giving away one fruit until confirmation of the date.  David |

it definately looks like a WAM to me, and a capped die 1999 WAM or even a 1998 would mean substantianal dollars |

Hummm....I'm dumb! LOL I didn't even think of checking for a WAM.  I think I'm going to have to refer to the experts on this one. In hand, it looks like the bit of the last digit visible is a 9....as best as I can tell. I compared it closely with a 92 and the tip of digit seems to curl around more like a 9 than a 2. If someone can't tell from my pics (best I can do), I might have to mail this to someone that can tell.    Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Could it be a 3?  I'm also seeing an "s" mintmark in the top photo of the second set that was posted. That might explain the WAM...if it were a proof coin eh? Then again it simply could just be my old tired eyes playing tricks on me... |

Nah, definately not a 3 and not a proof. The planchet would reveal if it was proof. There's luster on both sides though, the reverse cartwheels.

The proof 1993-S cent would be a Close AM. All 1993 cents were Close AM this one year. |

Sure don't know how you would confirm it but I see a 1999. Man, a capped died 1999 WAM. No telling what that would be worth. What would you think of.......say.......$30. PayPal OK? LOL Jim |

It look's like a 92 to me. Also don't notice the reverse die markers for most 99 Wide AM's. |
