I was looking through this big tub of pennies that I was going to discard of, until I started to search for a specific type of error (Die cracks and Cud errors) and I stumbled among this... beauty?


1993-P-Wide-AM-Penny-Found,-I'm-Not-Fond-Of-Trusting-Google's-Pricing...

The year & mintmark are 1993-P

Google says it's worth at the worst condition $200 and the best $2,000, but I'm not sure that's accurate, so what do you think? Should I get it graded, or no?

I also did clean it after this photo was taken with hot water and a clean wash cloth. It looks a little bit better, but not by much.

to CCF. I think you mean the 1992 Close AM is worth money. The Wide AM is normal and worth 1¢ on the 1993. You should never clean coins,it lowers any potential premium.

Hold on- I'm confused. According to online pages, such as https://www.lincolncentcollection.c...20Close%20AM, it's saying that the 1993 pennies usually have a Close AM instead of a Wide AM... what is it regularly? Wide or Close?

Same thing with https://www.cointalk.com/threads/19...wide.272407/ If you scroll down far enough, it says that the 1993 WAM is a rare one...

Yours is a Close AM. The M has to be centered between the A & E.

EDIT: I think John1 made a mistake when he said the Wide AM is normal for 1993.
