I posted a nice 1998 WAM earlier this week. Here are a couple I found this year that aren't so nice. Thought I'd share. Yuk.

HAHAHAHA....those are pretty ugly. Like yotie, everytime I pick up a nasty looking cent I say to myself "it's probably a 1992 CAM with my luck".

This is proof that maybe saving all your wams now may be a good idea.
Even though not a super premium on them at the moment as you can see
the ones still out there will not be around much longer. Poking around
last year with my metal detector ( I like to do shorelines also on freshwater ponds/lakes etc.) I could not believe what water does to a zincoln in just a span of a few years as compared to a copper.

Hey- it's still a 99 WAM and even in that condition, commands a nice premium!

I found 6, yes 6, 2000 Wams in a $50 bank bag. All but 1 went back to the dumpbank. Very bad shape. I would think they were worth...1 cent each! Now that's bad!
Rest in Peace

I know what you mean Indian1. I md in s. Florida and the zincolns coming out of the sand or water are terrible. I recently sold 125 of them for $1 at my club. They're worth less than face !
