wide AM's........

how hard are they to find? The last several boxes and handrolls, I have kept out every 1998, 1999, and 2000 and looked at them with my 10X loupe and I am just not finding any, are they that rare? I looked at a couple hundred just today.

also are they on all 1998-2000 or just certain mintmarks?

Hello,
I have gone through THOUSANDS of 98, 99, 2000's I have 3 98's, 1 99, 8 2000's. They are only on the "P's" (no mint mark) the 1999 is the gem to find VERY VERY hard to find and goes for about $300, the other 2 are more common and go for about $25 in high AU condition(RED).

Hope this helps,
Jason

on Ken Potters site it says:
This Is The RARE ONE!!!
1999 Type-2 (Wide AM Rev):
MS63 RD - $425, MS64 RD - $495, MS65 RD - $650

The supply of these is very limited!

Fewer than 300 known in all grades!

only 300 known to exist

is this true?

I have been through 83,500 pennies so far...checking dates on all of them. So far I have found 5 1998s and 3 2000s.

Well I guess I nailed it pretty good then with $300 for a High AU coin. See I do know what I am talking about... Sometimes. :wink:

There may be only 300 slabbed and graded but there is more than that out there.

The 1999 is definitely a tough one.

Re: wide AM's........

I also have been looking at a lot of pennies. I have found 2 of the 99 wide AM's and none of the 98 or 2000 pennies. I took mine to a local coin dealer and he said he was not interested in buying anything like that. I do not do e-bay so where might I be able to sell the two I have? :icon_scratch:

Re: wide AM's........

I have found at least 30 each of the 1998 and 2000 and I have found 3 1999. I just sold a 3 year set on Ebay and they went for $154 on Thursday, another 3 coin set went for $325 the same day but they were all slabbed coins. Keep looking, they are out there. :thumbsup:
