1998 Wide AM? + Fingerprint Obverse

Found this '98 Wide AM (pretty sure it is) but it has a large fingerprint on the obverse. Does that affect the value of the coin or is that a matter of opinion?

Yep, it's a WAM. Congrats!:thumb:
The rim damage and the hits in the fields, to me, would be more of an issue than the fingerprint.

 

Definitely a WAM. Nice find!

 

For sale?

I was asking if it was gonna be up for sale

 

Not making an offer

 

I'm going to hold on to this one because IT'S MY FIRST OFFICIAL FIND. :yes:
Thanks for the confirmations! Had to share my excitement!

 

Congrats! Still haven't found one yet and ive check well over $100 face value in cent's.

 

Searched about 80 boxes in 2 months, that's 2000 dollars in penny's, still havent found one

 

lucky ive foun the 2000 wide am but so far no others. Lucky though you find the slightly more scarce one.

 

Why, if the '98 is more scarce...is it worth far more less than the '99 (according to the Red Book?)
This was my 3rd box of pennies. I separated them all by the years and I'm going through them year by year. It takes a little more time but it helps me concentrate and not get confused that way.

 

I do the same thing.. If I going through possible silver, I look for that first, it only takes about 5 minutes..then I sort by year.. I get overwhelmed to do it any other way.. I also bought myself a coin scale.. I don't want to miss a thing....I may be a little ocd

 

Not to be a jerk, but could you please try to get more than 1 thought into a post?

 

not ocd to get a scale and sort coins. that seems perfectly normal to me. :thumb::yes:

 

Going to get a scale soon AND a better way to take pics of the coins.

 

I do believe Eps was responding to a post on each of these....so how could they have been in 1 post?

 

Thank you!:yes:

 

The 98 is only slightly scarce, the 99 WAM is very scarce.

See the button next to the reply with quote button? That's the multi-quote button. You can quote more than one post at a time and respond to them all at once.

He doesn't even quote people (90% of the time) anyway, so I have no idea who he is responding to.

Side note, Eps, you're doing it wrong. 200 boxes should have produced a couple at an absolute minimum, you may want to take more time going through the '98-'00 cents.
