If I remember correctly from another post asking fr info on Wide AM's, they were last officially minted in 1992, right? I found this 1995 D cent that appears to be a Wide AM. Am I correct? I compared it to another 1995 D cent I have and that one apopears to be a Close AM. Any info on this is well appreciated, thanks!

Nope, this coin is normal. It is a Close AM, despite that slight gap between the A and the M. If there is a slightly weaker strike, the A and M can appear slightly separated even on a regular coin.

The Wide A M coins have a distinct separation and the letters are shaped slightly differently.

Thanks,
Bill

I myself am always looking for the WAMS.(or CAMS :)
I usually just look at the "FG" first. (lower right steps of memorial)
If it's real tight to the steps, it's a WAM.
Also, you can easily see the spacing between the M and Erica
as that is my daughters name, I notice it right off :)
Looks like two seperate words, AM ERICA
Just another observation.

It is a MAD coin. The obverse is slighly out of alignment. But this is common on a lot of Memorial Cents. Within normal tollerance.
