          Aewsome Roger. Honestly, that's why I search rolls. It's totally theraputic to me. Finding a good variety helps the blood flow. Searching controls the breathing.
          How many WAMs does that make for you now? Around a million or so?

            if we totalled all the widw am's we have found i would easily guess around 750 with 8 1999's. sold most of them or gave away.

                  Absolutely, me too- throwing on some Bob Marley or talk radio, finding a quiet nook of the house and peeling through rolls looking for undiscovered treasure. Nothing to soothe and relax you, until you find that big one, then the blood pressure goes!!

                    I haven't really studied these at any great length because I simply lived in an area of the country where finding them was nearly impossible. Now that I live in Florida, I figured some day I would go to the bank and buy some rolls to go through.

                    I hear that the 1998 has been actually more common of late than the 2000. Is this true?

                      Not sure, but I did recently sell a couple of each in PCGS MS-66 and in a national auction and the 2000P brought considerably more in both cases.

                        Charles:
                        Our totals in nearly four years are 550 for 2000, 200 for 1998 and 7-9 1999's. I think different parts of the country it may be flip flopped on the 1998's and 2000's.
                        they have really slowed down since mid 2010.

                        The 2000 with the die chip above the left side of the memorial building has a good value to it. We have found three and sold two for 100 and 115 dollars - i guess they were bought by someone trying to map out all the varaities.
