This coin is giving me a headache. From looking at it from a magnifying glass it appears to me as a Close AM. After scanning and blowing up the image it shows there IS a space but it is smaller than other 1992 pennies that I have. I know the odds are slim, but do you guys think this is the real deal? 1992 P Close AM? The lettering is quite different than my other 1992's...  Hope someone can shine light on this, Adam |

A better gauge is if the M is centered between the A and E it is a Wide AM. If the M is to the left of center than it is the Close AM |

Can we get better pics of the AM and the designers initials?

After looking at the coin and its image blown up the M is not centered, the left bottom of the M is closer to the A than the E. But there is a SMALL space that the naked eye cannot see. I am still puzzled by this thing...
I'll try to get a better image.
Thanks for the reply!

Looking at TAT in STATES, it appears that TAT are evenly spaced...I believe that suggests a Wide AM(?) If the A is closer to the second T than it is to the first T - then it is a Close AM. Are my eyes playing tricks? Perhaps a close up photo of the TAT? And  to CCF! Edited by Pete2226

The TAT is evenly spaced. But the AM appears to me as close. Hmm, I'm confused a bit. Should I call it a Wide? Also I am not seeing any of these up for sale....If it is Wide it wouldn't be worth much? Or am I wrong?
Sratch that I found some for sale.

designer initials look pretty close to the memorial. I think that is indicative of Wide AM (from the Lincolncentresource link) |

Yes the designers initials are the easiest way to tell. Sadly in your pictures I can't tell you because I can't see it well. Blowing it up only makes it grainier but I'm saying it is a Wide AM just because from what I can see of the initials they are close. 75% sure with your pictures Edited by tweak800

Below are the two discovery coins; the 1992-D Close AM discovered by Colin Kusch in late 2001 and the 1992 Close AM discovered by Parker Olgilvie in March 2005. Notice that the 1992-D was struck from a LMDS to LDS reverse indicating that many of these were struck. Who knows where they ended up.  1992-D Close AM discovery coin.  1992 Close AM discovery coin.
