James Hicks Valued Member 179 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 2:53 pm If it is less than normal, it is a Close AM. there are different 'teirs' for Close AM, and the ones where they are touching are most valuable Report this Post to the Staff
Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 2:56 pm The Close AM is actually a reverse die intended for the following year, 1993. The M is closer to the A than the E (On normal coins it's evenly spaced) and the designers initials FG are farther from the memorial and are in a different font. http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...arieties.htm Report this Post to the Staff
youngmaster Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 2:58 pm I just learned that the initials can also be an indicator might be easier to look for that instead. Theres mention of the initials being closer to the building for the Wide AM and further for the Close AM. Would you say this is reliable? Report this Post to the Staff

On Wide AM, the G has a flared bar while the Close AM has a straight bar. Compare pics in the link I posted before. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 5:29 pm Note the locations of the 'M' on the AME of America. The wide 'M' is centered on the Wide AM.(normal for the pre-1992 Memorial cents. Ont the Close AM the 'M' is not centered, but off to the left of the 'AME' on America. Normal for 1993 for business strikes and 1994 forward on the business strike cents. But the 1994-S had the Wide AM. Then 1998-2000 things were mixed up a bit: Hope this helps?

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/07/2019 7:19 pm I'm thinking a third PUP is the "A" in STATES for the Memorial RDV's. Centered on RDV-001 through RDV-006, but shifts closer to the "T" to the right on RDV-007. Thanks, Doug. Also make note through the years, which RDV was used for proof coins. Differs some years in comparison to business strikes. http://varietyvista.com/01b%20LC%20...arieties.htm Edited by Halo1st 10/07/2019 7:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Not too many people mention this and I'm not sure why none of the reference sites mention this either. I find it a much easier marker to see than the FG. Especially with my bad eyes. I keep a photo on my comp that I took to show the difference. 2000P WAM and CAM displayed. In a CAM the A is closer to the T to the right. In a WAM the A is centered between the two Ts.
