jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1278 Posts	Posted 05/28/2024 10:32 pm The Close AM is not the "good" one. You should be looking for the Wide AM on the 1998 cent.. Sorry Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75658 Posts	Posted 05/28/2024 10:45 pm The Wide AM is the one to look for. Close AM is normal on all 1998, 1999, and 2000 cents.

Dearborn Moderator United States 99577 Posts	Posted 05/29/2024 08:49 am Yes, you are correct - this is a Close AM. There are 3 ways to determine WAM and CAM coins 1. the obvious one - is that the A in America is close to the M in America for a CAM 2. The 'A' between the 2 'T's in States in not centered for a CAM 3. the FG initials Are far away from the memorial for a CAM and just the opposite is true for a WAM cent. Now if you click on the hot link on any of the CAM - WAM - Close AM - or Wide AM, you will be brought to a page that documents everything you need to look for. edit - Huh, apparently the hot link was taken away from the CAM abbreviation - probably due to other words using that letter sequence....
