If it's a WAM then it would be more than the value of your purchase...... any how, off-center by itself in that condition would at least worth $10. Nice buy. I still haven't found a good coin shop like your around here.

WAM: Wide AM
CAM: Close AM

It's the distance between A and M in the word America

Thanks as always CBN, great info....

So a wide gap is the big money on error penny's?

Crazy what humans deem to make an item valuable and others not....

A knowledgeable older numismatic guy who likes Peace dollars was in the store today, an he kept going on about 1921 Peace dollars, an how the design was so raised in some areas, that in like rolls of two hundred coins, only the two end coins were spared from compression, via again the image so raised that the rim of the coin could not make contact an protect the face. So an error of sorts, and when a seller has one of the end coins with the complete detail, it brings like he said 3 to 4 hundred bucks....

Any truth to any of that or close to it, as it made sense to me anyways?

So the face of the coin was raised and the rim couldnt protect it. I have never heard of that before. Interesting

I would just need to understand this "compression" issue....how can you tell the difference. Yes...the 1921 issues rim was thinner than the highest points of the image which made them impossible to stack....but I have never seen it in print anywhere how to tell an "ender" from a coin that was "compressed"?

Maybe he just means that the enders will be higher grade coins due to the lack of compression
