Coin 1: Zinc layer exposed, no added value as it happened after it left the mint.
Coin 2: There is no such variety called the 1996 open AM
Also this should be in the modern error and variety forum.

The only die used to strike 1996 cents was the Wide AM die  |

i believe that info is wrong they used a CAM for 96 and I think his coin is CAM because the M is not centered but closer to the A than the E ,better photos would be nice.

(from ccf member coop) This is a 1998, but I think the wide vs close diagnostics are the same)  (subject coin)  The FG initials is another indicator, but your photo is too poor of quality to make out anything in that area.

They only used one die on that date. Also these WAM varieties only happen in philly, so there is no way the OP's coin is a variety. Edited by Dustin6

The reason the 1998 WAM is valuable is because it was supposed to be CAM. Your 1996 looks just like it's supposed to for that year. |
