    The wide AM.
     
  7. Nice find. My son is looking like crazy for a variety like that wide AM in our roll-searching. The search continues and is a lot of fun. TC

    I'm a newbie and just don't see the difference. I've read that it takes a lot of time to see the details. Sooooo, which one is the wide AM? They look alike to me.

    You can't tell the difference bacause they're both wide AM's.
    Nice finds Badthad, you must be the wide am magnet:hail:. Save some for the rest of us!

    Ya beat me to it D. T. Seems like everybody should have noticed that.

    Nice finds Badthad. They usually are found moons apart. 15 minuest is unusual. How many does that make now? 50- 100 wams total?

    OK. I thought they looked the same. So my vision isn't as bad as I thought! Great finding 2 in the same day! I'm looking forward to my new loupe in the mail so I can go through my coin jars. . . . The hunt is definitely the joy!

    How much are wide AM's selling for?

    The photos are so good that you can magnify them right here and then you'll plainly see they're the same. Do this by holding down the 'control' key and toggle the ' +' key.

    I profusly apologize. I'm a Wide A M(WAM) freak and it so easy for me to spot most of them. Please no insult intended.

    Both are WAM's.

    Thanks everyone...it was my birthday to boot! I haven't found a 98 WAM in over year and I've found two 99 WAM's since....to find these 15 minutes apart is nothing short of a miracle! :D
