Packwoodn New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 5:28 pm Hmm I just don't understand. There is a gap between the A and the M but its not a wide. Thanks Zack. Report this Post to the Staff
JJHFL Valued Member United States 395 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 5:38 pm In a wide, the "A M E" in america would be equal distance apart. Notice the M is closer to the A than the E? Also, a backup to look at is the "FG" at the base of the stairs. It is close to stairs on a wide, and further away on a Close AM. Hope that helps!

Erns Valued Member Puerto Rico 92 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 5:56 pm Close AM for me too. Remember that even in a Close AM there is a tiny space in between. Hope you find the WAM soon! Report this Post to the Staff
Packwoodn New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 6:07 pm Yea thanks. It was a 1993 and I saw a gap. So I figured this is the forums to find the answer on if I found a rare one. Report this Post to the Staff
Packwoodn New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 07/25/2013 6:28 pm Thanks for all the tips. So am I mistaken to call this a 1998 Wide AM? http://s1318.photobucket.com/user/p...036.jpg.html Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19945 Posts	Posted 07/26/2013 10:20 am Just look at the gap and FG distance from the memorial on normal 92 and 93 cents, just those to compare to any coin. Remember this: Wide AM = CLOSE FG and Close AM = FAR FG Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
