Kevine84 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 So, I got my penny back graded nicely Did they miss the fact that this is a Wide AM or what. I can't find it to price it. Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 No need to mark it as a WAM as 1999 Proofs are supposed to be WAM. It is the 1999 Proof CAM that is worth a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevine84 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 This is why I ask 1999 1c Wide AM Ty-2 (Proof Style Reverse) This is the RARE ONE! Same variety type as described for the 1998 above (and 2000 below). MMNS graded MS-64 RB (in my opinion this is an AU) $175.00. The following are from original brilliant uncirculated rolls: MS64/++ RD $295.00, MS65 RD $350.00, MS66 RD $550.00 From Ken Potter;s Error Coin Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevine84 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 The proof reverse on a business strike? Is that my issue? Proof strike. Darn. So close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Nub numismatics Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 "The greatest teacher, failure is." Not to say this was failure, but now you know what to look for and you learned something. It's too bad, i can't imagine how excited you were. Better luck next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 1993 the WAM reverse was ONLY supposed to be used on proofs and the CAM reverse was only supposed to be used on business strikes. All of San Francisco's dies are made in Philadelphia and in 1998, 99, and 2000 at least one rev die hubbed for making proof coins (WAM rev) was accidently used to strike coins for circulation. In 1998 and 99 one business strike die (CAM rev) was accidentally sent to San Francisco, polished and used to strike proof coins. So the 1999 S with a WAM reverse is the normal reverse, the CAM reverse is the rare one. for 1999 business strikes the CAM reverse is normal and the WAM rev is the rare one.
