nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15608 Posts	Posted 03/31/2025 5:17 pm Yes indeed that is the desired WAM reverse. Congratulations. If you wish to grow in this hobby I politely suggest that you need to learn the correct terminology. An error is a one of a kind accident that happened on only one coin. A variety is a difference in how the die was made and shows up on every coin struck by that die. You WAM cent is a Variety, not an Error. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
