Excuse my ignorance here, but what is a "Wide AM Penny"? Only reason I ask, is I've never heard of it...

 

[kygirl1227]

Jay, there are several years that the mint messed up and stuck 1998, 1999, and 2000 pennies with a space between the A and M in America on reverse side of coin. Those are mint errors...the A an M are supposed to touch...again same deal on 11992 but opposite the A an M are spaced but if you find one that are like "AM" and the bottom of A is touching the M then you just found some money....

Ahhhh... OK, now I know what to look for in the future. Thank's for the information.

Nice....

I've found a few 98's and a couple 2000's but only one 99.

TOUGH TO FIND. I have 2 each of the 98 and 00. the 99 is $500 in MS, you appear to be about AU, should sell for at least $100.
