It is in beautiful condition with no scratches or discoloration on the die its just my camara is garbage and its hard to see. The reverse is the old design of FG signature from 1992. I'm surprised I found one in great condition. I'm sure its rare.

Looks like a normal 93 to me but your pics aren't the best either.

 Third pic--I see enough of the gap in A-M-E and the position of FG to say it's the (normal) CAM |

I Wish that I could give better pics but I can't get focus good enough so you can see the big gap between the A-M and for you to see that the FG is the old hyphened style and close to the memorial..Sorry but it is the genuine article   |

You say "it's the genuine article"--but you're not posting pictures clear enough for a definite attribution.  I have my opinion, and others have theirs. But opinions are not proof--and they tend to confuse collectors looking for varieties. So I'll just post some clear diagnostics for the " Close AM" vs " Wide AM" LMCs.

Absolutely it is the Wide AM variety" I am truly sorry my pics are not good right now. I was amazed and quardripple checked and used my loop like I was mistaken something but I'm looking at it without the loop and you can even see the gap between the A-M designer is Wide AM style from pre 1992. |

Quote:Absolutely it is the Wide AM variety Well...then post quality pics if you want your coin discussed. Pushing us toward agreement, without good evidence, is both fruitless and confusing.  |

Stone bone, you must present clearer pictures otherwise you won't be convincing anyone.

Die wear and the resultant strike are often confused for the WAM gap seen between the "A" and "M" of AMERICA. We often discuss two of the three diagnostics to identify the WAM variety ... spacing between "A" and "M" and the location of the FG designer initials relative to the LMC memorial base. Your rather poor photos are not resolved enough for me to offer an opinion on those particular diagnostics. However ... your 3rd photo ... coin in hand and out of focus ... tells the entire story quite well enough IMHO based on the third diagnostic. Take another look through your loupe and examine closely the spacing in the reverse legend "STATES". On a WAM ... the letter "A" is equally spaced between the resultant "T". Your coin is a 1993 CAM ... as shown definitively by the fact that "A" shifted definitely towards the final "T" in STATES Publish better photos and I suppose all the CCF experts would agree ... for now I am confident in my views based on what I am seeing with your 3rd photo. Edit ... Quote:
im sending it out for authitication. Really. I hope you don't. You are wasting your money IMHO on a common coin. Trust that the CCF experts are trying to help ... perhaps an investment in a camera equal to your cost for certifying this coin would be a great boon both ways! David Edited by nickelsearcher
