Greetings Dan, and Coin Help U team,
I found this 1998 Lincoln cent in a coin roll hunt. Look at what great shape it is in, and is it actually a Wide Am? Is it worth grading out?
Thanks for you insights!

Yes , it is a Wide A M ! Congrat's ! I don't know what the market is for these however I do know they are listed at around $27 in MS-65. Unfortunately, It's hard to grade a coin accurately by Pictures online.

Re: 1998 Wide Am?
Nice find!
But before you think about sending it be slabbed (unless you just like slabs and want to) look into costs, membership fees when applicable, sold price on eBay (if you want to sell) etc. More than likely the fees for the service will be worth more than the coin is worth.
