    got 20$ in pennies today's and didn't find much since most of the pennies were new 2015's, managed to find two wheats tho..
    But I got a couple that I'm not to sure about, since in new into this.
    But I got a 1998 that looks like a WAM,
    And also got a 1984 that seems to me missing the L in Liberty. Some angles it looks like there's a half of an L there but it doesn't seem it one up with the other letters and seems to be closer to the rim a normal.
    And the last one, do,you think it's PMD? Has to be with that much damage, but seems to match the rest of the tone of the coin .

    Your 98 is indeed a wide AM (WAM). If you can't tell by looking at the A & the M then also look at the FG at the memorial. It will be much closer to the base of the memorial. Pics from the internet.

    the L is just worn off on the wheat. The 84 is a greaser. Nice finds.

    What's a greaser? Sorry new to all of this. But is it grease on the stamp preventing a full and complete stamp?

    The 1st "stamp" should be "die"
    And here's some info - read up!
