I know to check for 98-2000 on WAM. But are there any other WAM's out there? Also on the I believe 82 LMC there are copper and zinc varieties...How can I tell which is copper and which is zinc? Since I am starting on my bank box of lincolns tonight are there any others to keep an eye out for?

On THE 82's you just weigh them. I know the copper weighs 3.11 grams I think zinc is 2.5 grams. I dont believe there are any other WAMs but I know that 1992 CAM ( Close AM) is rare.

Is there a premium on WAMs?

IF your good at flipping coins you'll find copper makes a distinct 18 kilohertz ring vs. a zinc which won't really ring at all when you flip it. But, it would be quicker to just separate them all out, then do them later. I did a search for you, check out this post titled "found a list of lincoln cents to look for."

Yes for 1998 to 2000, and especially for 1999.

By the way, I recall some time ago seeing a topic on CCF regarding a singule example of a 1995(?) WAM discovery. I (quietly) felt it was probably bogus, but it received quite a bit of attention from the experts nonetheless. It may even have achieved certification.

$10.50 so far for 3 pennies. Nice. Will have to remember to watch for those!

That lot will go for a lot more than $10.50. 1999 WAM's will go for $100-$200 by itself based on condition. the 1998 and 2000 are worth less though.
