Is the 1998 CAM normal

 

Yes, 1998 WAM no

 

your saying the 1998 cam no mint mark is normal and 98 s mint mark is rare .

 

1998 s cam is the one to look for right.

If you find a 1992, 1992-D, 1998-S, 1999-S with a close AM, they are the ones you want.

If you find a 1998, 1999, 2000 wide AM, they are the ones you want.

Personally I've started checking every penny from 1992 to 2008, just in case there is a new one nobody has found yet.

 

Yup... It's a '92 WAM alright.

thank you all for the information . very helpful

 

Yes.

The CAM was intended for the business strike coins and its appearance on a proof coin means that someone prepared the wrong die and then shipped it to the San Francisco facility.

On the other hand, the WAM was intended for the proof coinage and its appearance on a business strike coin means that someone either grabbed the wrong die OR a still useable proof die was returned to the Philadelphia facility and intentionally used in the business strike presses.

Proof Dies are not ALWAYS the same as the business strike dies since proof coins are minted specifically for collectors. Many collectors make a point of examining the differences between proof coins and their business strike counterparts.
