foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 12/19/2007 3:30 pm I check anything 1995 and later, 98, 99 and 2000 are the known dates but you can always find something new by checking other dates. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 01/04/2008 09:52 am alkoz - please forgive me for sounding stupid because I'm really new to this, but I'm confused about your 1993 Close AM suggestion. My understanding was that all of the cents were struck as Close AM in 1993 and the date to look for was only 1992, since 1992 was intended to have only a Wide AM. Is there something significant about the 1993 cents? Report this Post to the Staff

mahgobbi Pillar of the Community United States 549 Posts	Posted 01/16/2008 07:48 am 13 out of 700? That's a lot. I picked through about 3500 modern pennies last week (my loose change jar) and found NONE. Report this Post to the Staff
MountainXBGL Valued Member United States 140 Posts	Posted 01/16/2008 07:50 am Levi, Look at the designer's initials...get a good 2003 or up coin and a good 1991 and below coin and compare it to the ones where you think are Wide AM's. On a Wide AM coin, the initials are noticeably closer to the Memorial steps and on the Close AM coins the initials are noticeably farther away from the steps. Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 01/17/2008 07:50 am Alcoz; can you tell me the relevance, rarity, value of 1992 and 1993 close AMs? Jim Report this Post to the Staff

jwolf74 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 01/17/2008 3:25 pm Here's a link to a site I found about these , hopefully this will help out some. http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/...arieties.htm hope that's allowed.... Is this really all there is to it? There really does seem to be an obvious difference , but when I was looking through mine the letters didn't seem to be almost touching like these are....hmmm Report this Post to the Staff
