jbuck Moderator United States 190660 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 12:48 pm Sorry to say, it is not a WAM. The WAM has about the same gap between A and M and it does between M and E. Notice the gap differences on your example. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
ZachMartin Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 1:06 pm From what I understand there are no examples of the Wide AM on the 1998 d penny and that is a noticable gap between the AM don't you think Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 1:29 pm It is not a Wide AM. The gap you see has just been created by environmental damage. The design is for the Close AM variety. Notice how the FG is also the Close AM variety and not the pre-1993 FG design. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21689 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 2:07 pm There is no 1998D WAM. All Denver cents were a CAM only the Philadelphia mint produced a WAM Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 2:14 pm Take a look at the FG to the right of the Memorial building. Notice how it's further out, not close to the building? If it is further out, than means it's a Close AM (CAM). And the reverse of this is true as well, if the FG is close to the building, it's a Wide AM ( WAM). This is always a good indicator to use. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
