Nice Find! Congrats. Still looking for my first WAM or CAM. I feel at a disadvantage seeing too few total Philly mint coins here in Colorado.  Camera/Scope is sweet too. I want one! |

Why did you include the FG? Does this have something to do with telling if it is WAM? |

In a WAM, the FG is closer to the memorial than on regular cents |

The designers initials are one of the diagnostics to confirming the WAM reverse. Nice find! I've been buying '98's and '00's for $8-10 and passing out as gifts, if that helps much. |

Congratulations. Very nice find and pics. I've found 3 2000 WAM, but I haven't found a 1998, or 1999. |

Not being much of a Lincoln Cent collector, I mostly only look for rotation errors, obviously rarities, any LWC, the WAMs and CAMS and clashes. Oh, and I weigh every 1883 hoping to find a copper one. Do they really exist? I was one of the lucky ones in Coop's great WAM giveaway a couple of months ago. |

I weigh all of my roll-found 1983.  My 3rd Edition of " Strike it Rich" shows a photo on Pg 75 of a copper planchet 1983 Philly cent that was supposedly found by a fella named Billy Crawford. I'll keep weighing all of mine. David |
