<p>[QUOTE="WeirdFishes, post: 1642291, member: 41261"]I have been searching rolls of 98-P, 99-P, and 00-P Lincoln Memorial Cents for the Wide AM error for well over 8 months and tonight I opened a sealed BU 98-P roll and went to work. 9 coins in from the end of the roll, there she was! A very nice (and rare) BU and upon flipping the coin to examine the reverse BAM! Clear as day was the object of my desire and search. Very easy to distinguish from the close AM (especially when you have examined as many as I have). Just to confirm I pulled out the 16x loupe and easily confirmed my find. Very clear seperation between the A and M in AMERICA, and the engraved FG initials at the bottom of the memorial are clearly much closer to the base of the memorial and clearly displays the shelf on the G, whereas the standard close AM does not exhibit such features. FINALLY! SOOO STOKED! Check the pictures to see the find and pictures of a standard close AM. Now a little help from my fellow members. What would this example be worth (ballpark), any thoughts on what it would grade out at, and lastly is it worth paying to have graded? Any thoughts greatly appreciated.</p><p>[ATTACH]236846.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]236847.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
