I'm going to be sending a few things out to ANACS and was hoping to get some thoughts on reholdering a 2000 1C Broadstruck and indent error which has a ' Wide AM' reverse. The Wide AM reverse is not indicated on the holder. The holder is an old style small ANACS holder.

Send it back in and, if possible, make note of the Wide AM.

Wait a sec why do you think this is a Wide AM? Those initials look to far from the memorial to be a Wide AM? Wait and see what others say now that I pointed it out because I'm no expert

It looks like a Close AM to me. ("M" is not centered) Which is normal for this year.

"STATES" lettering looks evenly spaced.
At least going by the pic.

You shouldn't be able to fit the stroke of the initials into the space between them and the Memorial for a Wide AM, and only about half the G overhangs the and of the Memorial. A Close AM has almost all of the G outside that spot.

It's spectacular enough as it is.

Yeah don't get me wrong the coin is really cool. If you don't want it because it isn't WAM send it my way. ;)

Here are clearer pics of the key locations to determine a " Wide AM". I think the above photos were just not clear enough. Thanks again for the input.

with the close-up photos of the AME it is clear that the M is centered between the A and E so it IS a WAM. (From the earlier photos I thought it was a CAM.)
