I'm getting back up on zinc and was wondering if it would paid for me to check for the wide am's coins. What are the odds on finding them? Thanks

| I always check for wams&cams. 1998 & 2000 will be the more common, 1999 would be a real treat to find. 1992 cams are difficult to find, but are still out there. I think the odds of finding a 98 or 00 are real good, 99 only if luck is on your side. |

| I'd like to have a set of the three. I haven't found any yet, but I'm a really sporadic sorter. Maybe some day. |

I've found 5 1999's and over a roll of each 1998 & 2000. They are out there to find, I live in Maryland but I don't know if location has much to do with it now that they've been in circulation for over 10 years now.
Uthminsta, I have all three available for sale or trade right now, what have you got for trade, any semi-key wheaties?
There are pics of the 1999 in my ecrater store, see link in my signature line if you are interested. |

(3) 1999 wams. All of them found within 2 months of each other from my BB@T in Morgantown, WV. Not to far from Maryland.......hummmm. I think you and I mr bman are in a fairly good location.
I also have about a roll or so of mixed 2000 and 1998.
someone should spearhead a tracking post for these things. |

I would say your odds are not very good finding a 1999 wide AM but may be better of finding a 1992-D close AM. You never know though, coins travel all over the country. Good luck! |

| it sounds like 1999s are fairly common compared to finding other coins worth $100 is this true? |

| I have found all 3 here in Florida, the 98, 99, & 00. Still on the hunt for the 92 close am. Preserving the past found a nice 99 WAM in Disney this past year, even had it posted in Coneca website. My 99 is corroded to hell and back, mainly just a check out what I found kind of coin, it's not gradeable or would I sell it. |

| Never found any yet of any date but of course not really looking for them either. Most sell for about $10 at coin shows except the 99 which is going for over $500. Now you got me started so I'm going to start looking for them too. |
