So I guess when you're hot you're hot...Just finished my last box for the week. A whopping 1 wheatie...55 in cruddy condition. Well I made it all the way through 60's, 71's, 72's, 83's, 84's, 92's, 95's, 98's, and 09's with nothing and was figuring that this would be the worst box I had ever gone through when this little gem popped up at me. At first I figured I mistakenly put a different year in the 99 stack but lo' and behold it is a 1999 WAM. :)

I'm sad that I don't have anymore boxes to go through. I have been pretty lucky the last few days. I took a few Ikes to the 7-11 yesterday and bought a few mega millions tix for tomorrow's drawing. Maybe that'll be my next lucky hit! ;)

Furryfrog go back to the place you got this one and get another box or two. There may be more in circulation. Congrats.

I got it in my regular weekly order from my CU. They don't usually get much extra coin past what they order for me. Hopefully my order for Thursday will come from the same pallet that these boxes did.
Beautiful condition on that bad boy! I've never found one yet, but I've got high hopes for 2014.
Congratulations on a great week

What would you grade it? I only have the PCGS photograde bookmarked and they only show wheat reverses so I have a hard time grading memorials.
