nice coin! boy you can really tell when it is the wide AM, i'll have to stop straining my eyes so much at every 1999 I look at. I bet that coin can bring $900
You'll notice it quick. I always do now. I think it's value is probably under $600... Multiple examples elsewhere of '99 WAM's in 64 for $550-$650, and you can get 65's for $900-$1200. Honestly, I figured it was a 63+ RD when I sent it in, I'm surprised it got 64RD.

My oldest was an 1881 IH and my best cent find was this capped die error, I've seen them going for 60-100 and the guy at the coin shop offered me 30 for it which is the most I have ever been offered for any I've found.

My oldest small cent is an 1879. My best would be a 1945 Australian sterling silver coin found in a cent roll. Recently, i found what may be a 55 DD. If it's certified as genuine, then that would be my new best cent find.

What is a wide AM? Is that the Am in America on the back? Looks normal to me
