WOW! You broke the odds 
You should have found a few 1998 and 2000 before finding that 1999.
I did similar, found a 2000 then a 1998 then a 1999. One of each!
Then recently at a coin show I found 2 of the 2000 in a dealers flips. They were marked MS65 35 cents. I told him what they were and he said he doesn't care, take em as marked so I did.
I'm still hoping for a CAM 1992 P or D

That is very unusual...I looked in some limited number of rolls from Florida a year ago and found two 2000, and two 1998. That's a little closer to the odds. You should find at least a few rolls of 2000 before finding your first 1999.
Very nice!

I am in North Carolina and Find Wide |AM's all the time. I have never found a 99 but find a lot more 98's than 2000's. I would like someone to show me the figures if possible on the 2000 having more than the 98 b.c I dont think it is. I hope so but i know a lot of people who find more 98;s than 2000.
Nice find by the way

I went probably went through 25,000 or so cents before I even heard of the WAM's...no telling how many of the others I missed before I started looking for a WAM. I found this one about a month ago and found nothing since...but I am looking.

If the experts see enough of each 98-99-00 WAM they could tell how many die pairs were used.
I think someone did it for the 99 and it's only a few (I think they found only 3 known die pairs).
The 98-00 probably came from a lot more die pairs.

I believe the last numbers showed that there were about 21 known die pairs for 1998, 22 for 2000, and 4 for 1999.
