Wow those are in amazing shape I would need to look at it under a loupe for more accurate grading by I would say as it looks in the pictures without looking at it with a 10x loupe MS 64 RD or 65 RD.
 

All the 1998-2000 cents in my area are all disgusting and corroded; I still look for the 1999 WAM, but looking that hard at cents makes my eyes hurt.


Those are beauts thought! :thumbsup:
 

nice find

The 2000 WAM is my favorite to look for.....I pulled 2 from one box a while ago but on a long dry spell since.

Nice to know they are still out there just eluding me at the moment.
 

I found my first WAM (1998) yesterday. It was in my pocket change and not a roll, but I'll still take it.
 

I prefer the 2000 on the right, without the pube.

Interesting that of all the posts i've made on this forum, you picked out one i've made over a year and a half ago to point out a armhair.
 

Wide American. On these coins, it was a 'mint mistake'. On the back of the coin, the AM in American was close like they were connected , but in these prints its a clear space. So instead of AM E R I C A N what you want to find is A M E R I C A N

Sent from my beer can using pocket lint.

Sorry to correct you but I must. It's not American but America. It's like it is because the proof reverse was used with a normal business obverse. Because of this it's a variety. On normal strikes of the period the a and m are either touching or almost. The proof reverse all of the letters are spaced equally in America. The distance of the designer's initials "fg" from the corner of the building is also different.
