Found a 1999 wide "AM" cent

I posted in the CRH thread but thought here was good as well. It was in the only roll of cents I looked at yesterday. Any thoughts on grade and/or value. I will, most likely, keep it but interested in your opinions.

GREAT find! CONGRATS!

 

Hopefully someone else will be able to help you with price and possible grade.

Nice find!

 

Well done! That is a tough find for sure.

 

One bump... Would anyone like to give me their thoughts on a grade for this coin. Thanks

 

The zinc rot on the top of the obverse is gonna impact it. I'm not good at grading though...so I don't know what I would give it.

 

I think the coin has the details of an AU55, but that carbon-spotting would probably be considered "corrosion" or "environmental damage".

All Lincoln Memorial cents minted before 1993 (with a few 1992 and 1992-Ds having close AM) will have a wide AM.
