I'm Finally Back!!

[engine823]

Well friends I am back!! I have been lurking and making a random post off and on lately, but mostly I have not been searching a lot. Just been busy and with the nice spring weather I find it hard to hole up inside and look coin.
Today I decided to get back to it and I was rewarded with my ( 3rd ) 1999 WAM!!!!!! That is a real motivator to keep up the search!!!

Hope you all enjoy this post!!!

Thanks! I've been around, just busy and I guess burned out a little. I need to take this a little slower. I hope to have more fun with it from here on out. It's a hobby not a job!! Sure you know that:tinysmile_hmm_t:

A 1999 WAM !!!!! oh is that all! I have bought bags of 5,000 and rolls and never got close to one.I got so sick of the 99 I sold the rest because I couldn't look at another one. Then there was 3 found with what was left. LOL my luck.
Any way a VERY BIG CONCRATS on a super nice find.

I have tried looking full boxes of 1 certain date!!! It is very hard to do that!! I like looking mixed circulated boxes. Much more fun!!

Shannon :)

[pennies4pennies]

You got that right. I'll never buy bags again. I good mix is always more fun.

Nice find Shannon !

Great find, beautiful coin.
Congrats!

Is that a die crack down the steps in pic #3?
If so, your coin is from Lawson Die #3- much harder to find than most of the 99 WAMS which are from die # 1

I'm not for sure but thanks for the link!! I will do a better job looking at it tomorrow when I get home from work!!!!

There is a die crack in the same location but it does not look exactly like the one in the photo in the link you posted. The other dies show markers that are not present on my coin!

What do you all think?? Different die state of Die 3 or a different die all together??

Shannon :)

[chuckster125]

Hi Shannon:

I would say it's die # 3 based on the crack.

Hopefully one of the pro's will give you a better answer than I can.

Congrats again on a beautiful coin!
