Thanks Richard. It looks like it has some MDD on the initials.

Jeremy
I'm in the same club as you - no 1999 wide am. We should start our own forum and hope to quit it asap. Nice find on 98 - look for the phantom 'd's.
Thanks

I normally don't have coins graded, but in the case of this 1998 Wide AM (out of a circulated roll no less), I thought it might grade pretty high. Other than a few minor carbon spots, this thing is incredibly clean. Although hard to tell by the photos, this one also has the Phantom D.

Nice coin Jeremy.

Bob, Nice coin also. Could you explain the Phantom D? Is is actually a Denver Mint coin?

Nice coin Bob. I think I better go check my Phantom "D" that I have and see if it is a Wide "A M".

Hi David,
The following comes right out of the Red Book:

'Some of the cents minted since 1994 show the faint trace of a mintmark, believed to be the result of the letter's having been removed from the master die during production of working dies for coinage. So-called phantom mintmark pieces were produced in Philadelphia but show traces of either a D or an S. Values for such pieces vary according to date and condition, but are not significantly higher than for normal pieces.'

I checked mine and it's not a 1999 it is a 1997 with a Phantom "D".

I checked mine and it's not a 1999 it is a 1997 with a Phantom "D".

What? Now I am lost.

[1sgret]

What? Now I am lost.

I was looking for my 1999 Phantom "D" to see if it was a Wide "AM". I found out it is a 1997 with a Phantom "D". See Bob's post as they started with the Phantom "D" in 1994 and up to (?). And NO I do not have a 1998 with a Phantom "D" either.
I see how I confused you with the 1999 Phantom "D" and was hoping I had one to check the reverse for a Wide AM which as we all know would be worth some big Moola!!!!
So I have to settle for a 1997 with a Phantom "D". IT"S BEEN A LOOOOOONG! DAY. Sorry David.

Gotcha. What would a Phanthom D or S be worth? Thank's Joe.
