    2nd '98 wide AM I've found to date

    It's a little gunky, but beggers can't be choosers I guess! I'll take it! Still looking for that '99.

        That's getting to be a pretty scarce find these days! Nice job! Prices for these also appear to be rising. I bet zinc rot and landfills have claimed 20% or more of these by now.

          Wide AMs are cool finds. And the '98 is moderately scarce. Nice find!

            Find all you can and save them. The life span of a zincoln in circulation isn't very long.

              Is there any idea as to the mintage figures for these? I have found 15 98 WAMs to 31 2000 WAMs so they are obviously more scarce. Was just wondering if anyone had a rough guess as to how many were minted.

                It's the opposite with me. I've found over 100 of the 98s and only about 20 of the 2000s.

                  Yep. I think it depends on where (geographically) you are. I have found many 98 WAMs (mostly in bad condition) and very few 2000s.

                    I have found 2 '98's and 0 2000's. I was given the only 2000 I have. Still no '99's.

                      Good luck with that. They are tough! I have found 1 in 12 years of searching.

                          Still missing the 99 as well. I'm getting close though, I can feel it

                              Just shy of $6k searched and still haven't found one. It gets frustrating some times searching through all of those 99's.
