Wide AM's

I'm wondering if any of you search for the wide am zincolns...98,99,00. I've gone thru quite a few pennies the last 10 days or so. I always keep those years aside and at the end of a run , check them out . No luck. I compare em like the books say , should look the same as say a 70's reverse from what i understand. I've mixed a few 90's in by accident to see if i can find em when i search and picked every one out each time. Maybe they just dont exsist on the east coast?

Yeah, I do. I have found three 98s so far. This is after having gone through a little more than 12 boxes. This link is helpful: http://www.lincolncentresource.com/wideams.html

Re: Wide AM's

Hello,
I search A LOT of pennies and have found a few. The most common one seems to be the 2000 Wide AM. The next would be 1998 Wide AM. The one that is very tough is the 1999 Wide AM. So far I have found 13 2000 wide AM, 9 1998 Wide AM, and 3 1999 wide AM. I sold one of the 1999 Wide AM in AU - MS condition to a dealer for $125.00 he was not interested in the other years.

Here is a thread for my post a while back.

I hope this helps,
Jason

Jason,
Could you show a photo of the other two 99's you have?
