    Found one

    Additional Information
    Date: 2000
    Variety: Wide AM
    Mint: Philadelphia

    Hi guys: Had a little time at lunch and came up with a 2000 wide AM. Had a couple of other things as well. The FG looks like the G is doubled. The last S in States may be doubled, the W in We looks doubled on the center top of the letter. The weirdest thing tho is that Abe is sticking out his tongue. What do you think.

    Congrats Lou for finding your first 2000 WAM! I'm in with Jon on the rest, and also 2000's have over exaggerated lips, it's part of the design for that year, they all have funny looking "chicken lips"

    You're welcome... I totally forgot about the other things you listed... One of those days On the G of FG it looks like MD... Notice the MD on the edge of the memorial in the same direction as well as the F... The S looks like it could be a small trail??? The W looks like the zinc is collapsing... That anomaly is also on both arms of the W the top of the E and the OD of GOD but to a lesser extent... As the zinc deteriorates it collapses and eventually the devices become concave... Can't tell for sure on the tongue part but that could be from die wear or a struck thru grease that turned a chicken lip into a tongue LIBERTY looks normal all the way across... Hope that all helps a bit!!!
