1998 wide AM

[method2406]

I found this today in my searches. Penny rolls from the bank, not to many wheat but happy with this find. Confirmation on wide am? What do you guys think about quality of the coin?

The close proximity of the Designer's initials to the Memorial Building looks correct for the "Wide AM" Variety but the pic is too distorted to determine the separation between the "A" and "M" in AMERICA. Try holding a good magnifying glass or gem loupe up against the camera's lens when you take close-up pics of coins as these will help to get better pics. It may take several attempts to get some good in-focus close-ups but if you can post some, we should be able to tell for sure if the coin is a "Wide AM" Variety or not.

Just curious, anyone have any idea of how many of the wide AM's there are? As the mint makes billions of cents, 10,000,000 or possible 100,000,000 of these? Just doesn't seem that rare.
