Bigwho808 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 10:21 pm Hey Friends, I need help to identify if this is genuinely a Close AM or die damage? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Christian18 Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 03/07/2021 11:12 pm I'm pretty sure that's a Wide AM. The close positioning of the designer's initials give it away. Report this Post to the Staff
Bigwho808 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 12:03 am Christian, so it's double struck then, that's why the AM are touching? Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 01:14 am It's just a regular Wide AM. And no, it is not double struck. There is a hint of Die Deterioration Doubling that might make it look a tad closer, but it's just an illusion. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 02:39 am Agree with all Wide AM. Nice in your coin is DD. A double date like this is nice to see. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 04:58 am Silviosi, this is not a doubled die. Just DDD. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 04:58 am Not a doubled die and not a Close AM. Looks like DDD. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 05:28 am SilverCents, sorry miss understand on DD. Me I say DD to repunched-date of a die, which is not DDO or DDR varieties. Sorry, here is the link http://www.error-ref.com/repunched-date/ Silvio Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 05:32 am Silviosi, repunched dates do not occur on Lincoln Cents are far as I know. They only appear on earlier specimens. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19257 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 07:29 am Agree, not a Close AM. Appears to be split plating on the mint mark, along with traces of Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 08:55 am Re-punched date would be= RPD, double mint mark would be= RPM, over mint mark would be= OMM. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98558 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 10:39 am Can we get an image (close up) of the designers initials? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Bigwho808 Valued Member United States 192 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 1:13 pm Sorry for delay friends. Here is the zoom pic of the initials only. Report this Post to the Staff
Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 03/08/2021 1:25 pm This is a Wide AM no doubt. One of the other key visual markers for Close AM is to look at the position of the A in STATES. A CAM will show the right leg of the letter A noticeable closer to the post of the letter T directly to its right. There will be a smaller gap between the A and the T in this area. With that said, this means there will be a larger gap between the left leg of the A and the post of the letter T directly to its left. A WAM, which you have, the letter A is directly and proportionally positioned between the two T's. Kinda like this visual CAM= T AT WAM= TAT Edited by Scuba1 03/08/2021 1:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
