Before you spend your change, check your pennies from 1998, 1999, and 2000—they could be worth far more than face value.

🔍 What to Look For
On the reverse of the Lincoln Memorial penny, focus on the word AMERICA. In these rare error coins, the letters A and M are separated instead of touching.

📊 Potential Value by Year

• 1998: Around $25 in circulated condition
• 2000: Around $20 in circulated condition
• 1999: Up to $500 depending on grade

💡 Why It’s Valuable
This is a Wide AM design variety—caused when the wrong reverse die was used for business strikes. It’s a favorite among collectors and can sell fast when in good condition.

✅ Pro Tip: Use a magnifying glass to check the spacing between A and M. If it matches the wide-spaced variety, you’ve found a keeper.
