Additional InformationDate: 1998Variety: Wide AMMint: Philadelphia
I have been absolutely amazed I had not found one up to now but the FG does not look right. Please let me know if I have found my first WAM! The wide "AM" looks obvious but the "FG" does not look close enough.
Thanks for looking, Jon.

You nailed it!
The FG is right for a wide.
To help yourself see it, take a pic of a close AM, crop your pics and put the pics side by side and you'll see it easier.
The problem is, if you don't see that stuff side by side it's harder to tell but when you do it side by side you'll see the F being tucked in close, it's very different.

Sweet!!! Thanks guys!! I know it's silly but the fact I had not found a single WAM of any sort, even a 2000P has absulutely amazed me! I know I don't do near the numbers most of you do but averaging it out I have looked conservatively at 50,000 Lincolns and this is my first! enamel, I finally found one!
Thanks again everyone and I'll check a normal 98P Ed. Wooooohooooo!!Last edited by makecents; 08-10-2018 at 07:31 PM.

Should not bother you Jon. When the log splitter coin came out I went through thousands of new coins and never found a doubled die, yet there were many out there as we now know. Bob even suggested that I must live on another planet. It depends a lot on where the batch of coins with the anomaly were originally distributed. They get circulated around the country and elsewhere later on and people find one now and then. With regard to the '98 WAM, I have found at least two tubes worth but only a handful are BU or unc.
