I found a 1993 penny with a large gap in between the a and m in America. But it doesn't have the right FG location can some one tell me if it is a true Wide AM variety.

Wait for others to confirm but I see a bit of a gap, but notice the M is not centered between the A and E.

Picture a bit grainy for me, but think die wear or the A took a hit giving the impression of a larger than normal gap.

Add on if the initials aren't right, I say CAM.

In the future full reverse picture would be helpful to confirm as well. I Iike to see all markers.

Thank, Doug.

Doug is correct about the location of the "M". If it is a Wide AM then the "M" would be centered. On your coin the "M" is to the left. Normal Close AM for this year. The space can vary between the "A & M" because of die wear, but the centering is the difference between the two types of "AM"s.

Agree all above comments. It is a normal Close AM penny with die degradation.
