CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 2:26 pm Check ebay; there are several listed. 1999 is the pricey one and has a lot fewer listings, but 1998 and 2000 aren't bad at all. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 2:27 pm $5-10 bucks for the 2000 and 1998.(MS65 RedBook). Red Book list the 1999 at $500 so it appears that year is very rare Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187663 Posts	Posted 06/27/2011 3:13 pm I moved this topic to the 'Modern US Variety & Error Coins' forum. Many of the E/V regulars do not look outside the E/V forum. Placing it here should result in more answers to the "What would they be worth?" question.

Chadwick Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 06/28/2011 11:29 pm RedBook may have the 1999 WAM listed at $500, but ebay says otherwise. There are a few nice ones listed for high dollar prices. But they do not seem to be selling. Maybe these need more time? Perhaps. These zinc clad coins will rot away from circulation with time. I expect we will not know the true value of these coins for many years to come. It will depend on several things. Demand, rarity, and..well thats about it. Demand and rarity. Demand being the key point here. If demand diminishes over time, price will diminish too. In the end, its all about what someone else is willing to pay that determines value. If the someones become few and unwilling to pay a great deal, then the value will fall. Its a crap shoot really. Some of the rarer coins available demand prices that do not have anything to do with the supply. There are trends, popular demands, and a whole list of things that effect value at any given moment but may not stand the test of time. Then again, todays ebay coin sold for $5 could be tomorrows ebay coin sold for $500. You just don't know. I say collect coins you like. I am myself fond of the Wide AM cent. But I don't have any interest in selling them for a profit. I don't have any interest in selling them at all. I collect them. Which means that when I find one, I keep it. I'll let my son deal with what to do with them when I pass away. It will be daddy's little treasure he will inherit. Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 06/29/2011 06:43 am What should you do with them ? Send em to me Prices vary...for circulated, 98 & 00 sell for $3-10.....99's from $80-150.....get them slabbed and it's slightly different, but the best way I can suggest is to go on ebay and do a completed listing search for the coin of your choice...it will give you a good idea of the real time value.

yankee1227 Pillar of the Community United States 1151 Posts	Posted 07/02/2011 09:18 am OK. How much does it cost to get them slabbed? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2011 09:31 am Unless they are superior quality, the cost of slabbing could cost more than the coin is worth. The 1999's might be ones to consider slabbing. The 98 & 2000 are more common. Report this Post to the Staff
