With stuff like that it's funny to think that yesterday it was just another cent in a roll and some people have some 92 CAMs that are getting spent like another cent.
Congratulations, do you mind if I ask approximately how many 1998-2000 cents one has to inspect before finding a WAM?

I search mostly wheat cents but acquired about 600 memorial cents from a friend this weekend which had a high concentration 1990 through 2000. I just found my first WAM (1998) after searching through about 100 in the date range you asked about. (Of course this isn't very scientific) I would think the answer to your question would be a percentage of total coins produced. I'm sure someone here knows where to find information on how many WAM dies may have been used for each year, which can used to approximate the total quantity of the variety produced for each year. And this help determine a percentage of the total produced.
The following is from LincolnCentResource.com :
1. 1992 Close AM - extremely rare
2. 1992 D Close AM
3. 1998 S Close AM
4. 1999 S Close AM
5. 1999 Wide AM
6. 1998 Wide AM
7. 2000 Wide AM - least rare
