The easiest way to tell for me is the tie What the heck does the tie have to do with it? CAM and WAM are REVERSE DESIGN VARIETIES and have nothing to do with the the obverse side of the coin. |

I know what it is but I was stating that if your not sure if its a WAM or cam too look at the tie because they are distinctively different compare the two. Edited by daniels

Yeah,in order for a 92' to be a "A.M." variety,it must be the opposite than the '98-2000' A.M. Same for the Proof 1999 set,it is the opposite than the wide A.M. mint state ones.Best thing,as stated already,check the websites! The 1992 "close A.M." is one of the rarest varieties in the business. If one finds one,well,a huge congrats.to ya buddy! Mega bucks! Esp.in top,pristine condition. -joey  Opposite= AMERICA as oppose to A MERICA! EX:1998-2000 Wide A.M. mint state= A MERICA, Proof 1999= AMERICA, 1992 Close A.M. variety= AMERICA Edited by joeykoins

here's an idea.Find yourself a '91 and a '93 in fair shape. put them in 2x2's side by side. label the '91 example WAM ans the '93 example CAM. When unsure compare you coin to these. |

Quote:That was the last year for the Wide AM and not the type 2 proof reverse ( Wide AM) found on 1998 - 2000, and sadly what you have is only worth it's weight in copper. 1982 was the last year for copper coins anything after that in copper is either a fake or worth a heck of a lot more than "it's weight in copper". |

Sorry DrDon, I know that 1982 was the transition year and at 3AM (when I posted a reply), some of my brain cells must have been sleeping.  |
