Are Wide AM's 1998, 1999, and 2000 worth looking for?

Just another question since I am a newbie and all. I don't have a large bankroll, but have been reselling me copper for a profit of $5 on the $25 FV. Would it be worth the time for me to search for wide AM's for profit or not?

I started a thread here a little while back on a similar subject, and will probably try to keep updating it every $10FV or so. I personally enjoy the variety, since going through cents can be tedious sometimes. Still haven't found that '99 WAM yet (that's worth some money), but I've found 4 '98s and 2 '00s in $13.50 FV, so just frequently enough to not be frustrating / a pleasant surprise when I see something.

I've also started looking for a 95 DDO and an 83 DDR (both may be findable in circulation still), as well as a 72 DDO (probably not findable). I figure if I'm going through the box anyways, what the harm in putting those aside to check? Let us know if you find anything!

I look for them. I think I have 14 1998's, 8 2000's, and I know I have 3 1999's.

I don't track my cent finds very well. I can tell you I've culled out over $1k face in copper, so if you assume 20% cull rate, you're looking at $5k in cents searched.

You give a guy hope that he'll be finding one of those 99s if he keeps plugging at it. Thanks Merc!
