What is your definition of CAM - Cameo? Cause it aint that. Has so many carbon spots/zinc rot bubbles on it it's only worth a cent - spend it before it zinc rots to nothing!

It's normal, all of the LSC's are Wide AM's. Close and Wide AM's only applied on the Lincoln Memorial Cents varieties when two different type dies were used (Business strike and Proof strike). Because of being Struck Through a little bit of grease, it caused the letters to appear wider from the obstruction in the die's cavities, making it appear closer (I'm talking about the Grease Fill issue on the OP's coin, not the actual Wide or Close AM varieties on LMC's). I notice this little grease issue a lot on thes LSC's. I think it's because this area is lacking metal fill or something like that from the other side. Errers and Varietys.

E&V, I don't think your reason for the CAM and WAM difference is correct. It was not grease when struck, there were actually two different type dies. That's why the letters are fully formed, and not partially missing. |

@Fuzzy I believe E&V is referring to OP's coin, not the actual WAM and CAM varieties. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020

(should have explained it better, but I sometimes have a hard time explaining things). I'm talking about the weakness in the strike on "States Of America". That was do to a Grease Fill. I know what the Close and Wide AM varieties are, different type dies. I have edited both comments to help clear up any confusion that I might have caused (Tried to explain stuff better and tried to make things easier to understand).  Errers and Varietys.

Thank you all for replying, but I never stated that this is CAM. As far as I know there is no such thing as CAM IN SHIELD CENTS, but may be after this one big boys will think about it. If any one else has more shield pennies with close or closer space between A and M, not CAM, I would love to see it. thank you all.

This coin is facing a Struck Through Grease issue on the strike. Thus the wider devices. But lets explore the subject a bit more. What is the differences on the Wide AM and Close AM? Clue it is not just the location of the devices. (tougher question that isn't obvious) Answer below: They are different die numbers. The dies are different because of that. The designs are different. Other wise they would be the same die number if they weren't different.Highlight the line above this space to see the answer.Edited by coop
