On the back of the 1998,1999,2000 cent the AM in America is supposed to be touching. There was a different die that was used mistakenly and it has the M centered in between the A & E in America. Worth a few bucks it seems.

I pulled a 2000 WAM that would grade MS63-64, but I can't tell the grade on your would need more pictures, but if it's MS63 someone might pay $15-$20. The only ones people really want are the 99's.

Still looking for my first '99.

In ~$955 FV worth of cents, I've come across almost $17 FV of 1998-2000 philly mints, and of those, I've pulled 8 WAMs ('98 x6, '00 x2), if the data point is of interest to anyone interested in frequency of WAMs.
