1998 wide am

[Guest]

Thinkin i found one in a bank roll today but not to sure how to take a picture of it and post it. I compared it to two other 98's and the A and M are clearly apart further in the coin in question then in the other two. So pretty sure i found one.. Going to the coin store on monday to have them take a check.

Also check the designer's initials (FG). I have pics below:

Yeap im pretty sure that is what it is even though i am working with not a very good magnifier i can clearly tell the difference in the space between the a and the m. The "fg" is a little bit harder to tell but it looks like it is closer but like i say im not working with a very good magnifier. Thanks so much for putting the pic up of both side by side. I will talk to my wife in the morning and see if i we can't figure out how to post a pic to make sure with people on here.

The 98 and 2000 WAM's aren't particularly valuable until you get to the higher grades. Regular, circulated examples will sell for a couple bucks at best. Also, most people that collect WAM's will search until they find their own example because they are somewhat easy to find. If you're looking at selling for money, only the 1999 WAM is worthwhile because they are indeed scarce.
