[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 4086488, member: 85496"]So in my research last night I came across a 1996 WAM that is posted on the Lincoln Cent Resource. It says it was found in 2009 and is the only one that has been found, but was supposedly stolen from the person who found it shortly after it's discovery. My question is is this for real or was it a fraudulent find? [URL]http://www.lincolncentresource.com/Featured/1996WideAM.html[/URL] None of the links in the article go to what they say they do and the magazine that is linked looks to be more of a celebrity gossip magazine not a coin mag. This find is also mentioned in this article [URL]https://varietyerrors.com/coins/wide-am-and-close-am-lincoln-varieties/[/URL] It says the discovery was stolen during a robbery outside a coin show and was never authenticated. [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER] have you ever heard of this one?[/QUOTE]
