[QUOTE="zekeguzz, post: 1380449, member: 15455"]Hey Merc Crazy. That 1999 WAM spacing is the widest I've ever seen. You could drive a semi through it and have room to spare on each side--------LOL. As for any additional info for , Forthekids, or Joshua M on recognizing and identifying 1998, 1999, 2000 WAMs. It takes lots and lots and lots of practice looking at these years. You'll get to know almost instantly looking at the cent in your fingertips whether it is one or not. And while in this this learning process your heart will jump when you think you've found another 1999 WAM. That's the fun of it because we've all been there many times only to prove to ourselves--nope not this time---again. You'll see the worn dies which can cause the space, tiny as it is, but it's there making you heart flutter. Also the spacing differences of the 'FG' initials, again due to die variations and wear and tear, can start you shaking. So enjoy it. Use a nice 10X loupe or scope to help you easily verify your findings without going blind. But the 'G' in the initials is the keY. That's what I look for first. All told I've 12 98WAM's, 11 2000WAMs, and two 99 WAMS ONE BEING ms65 red found in 2009. They're much scacer now. Much good luck. zeke[/QUOTE]
