Top right is WAM, then a filled E, then ddr-023, then ddr-052 (filled E is on this one, also notice die crack on shoulder) then suspected ddr-051. Could anyone tell me the value on these? Also should i have them slabbed then sell or hang on to them? Thanks
Nice finds hoondiggi. You're looking at a few bucks for each one. The WAM would probably go for more than the doubled dies. I've been seeing the 1998 WAMs in raw circulated condition selling for $3-5.
I am no expert. 1998 is one for harder years to find a wide AM . but in MS-66/67RD I seen them sell for $175.00 -$350.00 in a Pcgs slab.Ngc graded about 1/2 to 3/4 of the above price. *plus you have to have someone who will pay the above quoted prices ***but there maybe someone here on CT that knows more about the selling prices of the wide AM http://www.pcgs.com/prices/PriceGuideDetail.aspx?MS=1&PR=1&SP=1&c=45&title=Lincoln+Cent
Anyone think that the errors will get more expensive with time, considering there are so many variteties?
I personally don't think the doubled dies will increase. There are just too many of them and they are relatively minor. I also think the population figures for the 1998 WAMs are fairly well established and I don't look for these to increase much either. As with all varieties and coins in general, very high grade slabbed coins can bring some nice premiums, but even MS65 gems are so readily available for the '98 WAM that unless you really think you've got a MS66 or better, it probably wouldn't be worth the price to have it graded with variety attribution.
the more common wide ams have incresed substantialy in afew years, even as more are discoverd. if you only have 1 cent in it it cant hert to put it back.
