Jimmy1972 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 2:29 pm Going through some of my pennies and I believe I just came across a Wide AM error. The initials FG are closer to the base of the memorial. Any opinions? Edited by Jimmy1972 03/08/2017 3:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

littlecoin New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 2:43 pm The M is evenly spaced (centered) between the A and the E in "America" and the FG is close to the building steps. I'ld say it's indeed a Wide AM. Another thing to check: Look at "States" the A should be evenly spaced tween the two T's in the Wide AM version. Can you show pics of the full obverse and reverse?

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 4:10 pm I was excited until the obverse pic. A 1998 would be a find, but it's normal for 1992.

dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 4:13 pm Good eye. I didn't even notice the coin is a 92. I only paid attention to the title. Common coin (normal 1992). Report this Post to the Staff
Jimmy1972 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 4:16 pm Your right. I was going through 1998 and must have dropped a 1992 in it. Sorry guys. My bad. What a knucklehead I am. I apologize. Report this Post to the Staff

I apologize. No worries, it happens to all of us, especially when processing a large number of coins. Keep up the hunt! Report this Post to the Staff
