Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 8:02 pm I have stumbled onto a few of these. There are a few examples that look like WAM's, but are not. We would need to see the designer's initials for further diagnostics. Report this Post to the Staff
dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 8:03 pm it appears to be the Wide AM. try comparing the designers initials, at the right side base of the memorial building to photos of the "real deal". I'm NOT one of the experts - but thats my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15425 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 8:05 pm Well ... this indeed appears to be a WAM ... true diagnostic check is the location of the designer initials relative to the Memorial. Show us that photo as well. Your coin as shown could be any of a gazillion dates/mm. If you wish full dancing fruit for a 1999 WAM ... then show us photos of the entire obverse and reverse.

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 8:24 pm The FG initials should appear to almost touch the memorial...compare to another 99 if you can't get some pics for us Report this Post to the Staff
scrapper2010 New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 8:25 pm Ok here's a picture of the initials. The pics could be better but I'm not good at using my scanner yet. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 9:15 pm Big congrats on your find--the 1999 is the scarcest WAM! Report this Post to the Staff
nismojones Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 9:33 pm Cool Deal, I thought one of the easier ways to check was that if the distance between the 'A' and 'M', was the same as that of 'M' and 'E' then it was considered WAM. ? Report this Post to the Staff
Merc Crazy Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 02/13/2011 10:21 pm Nice find. I don't check the initials, I just look at the AM... several thousand cents later, it takes me a fraction of a second to see it. Report this Post to the Staff
