Thank You! Do you have any idea what it might grade if I sent it in? I have a pretty good idea, but I would like other opinions if possible!

I'm a newbie so what is so special about that cent?

The 1998, 1999, and 2000 WAM's (Wide AM) are struck with proof dies instead of normal dies intended for circulation. The normal dies have the A and the M in America really close or touching. The 1998's and 2000's are pretty common worth a couple bucks in circulated condition. But the 1999's are by far rarer, and worth in MS63 an easy $250 usually $300 or more. In circulated condition usually worth an easy $100.

This is why I like cents, big scores, every now and then!

 

[Kilerclown25]

Wow thats alot for a cent in circulated condition! I'm gonna be looking at cents again!

Very nice find. I have only found 2 98's. you should do very well as it is in good condition. My guess is AU-55.

That's exactly what I was thinking AU55. Don't know if I'm doing to sell it or not. I'm a 17 year old guy, kind of tempting.

Very awesome find. I don't do cents but I may have to try a few.

That explains why you asked about putting cents in dime rolls before you turned them in....

I have a NGC membership, and I am looking for some coins to get slabbed in my first round. Let me know if you are interested in getting it slabbed - Let me know!

Will do! How much would it cost at NGC? I don't know if it really makes a difference if I get it graded NGC or PCGS. It's a WAM not really much room for misgrading or misauthenticating.

From what I've read if its under ms65 there is not much of a difference in the two.

Like in price? So what do you think it's worth?

Nice find Coppercrazy!

About time! Good find indeed. I probably went through one or two by now but it is not worth the effort to look for zincs (for me).

by the way dawg, you should change your avatar to the coin, cause the one you have now, no offense but its gotta be 1 of the worse I've seen on this entire site. I mean, thats an expensive phone, it has auto-time features, just is unprofessional to take it that way, I mean mirror's ain't for the photographs, I think you realize this because you look mad as heck.
