Wmdunkin New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 01:08 am I was looking through some pennies and these caught my eye, any value in here? Sorry it rotated my pictures for some reason when I uploaded but you still get the idea. Wheats Mis-Aligned? Miss Hits? Wide AM? \/\/ Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

The wheat CENTS are just common in circulated condition - 3 or 4 cents a piece. Edited by Mark1959 03/13/2017 01:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 01:24 am Detailed answers incoming. Working it out in notepad now. You had me confused about the WAM though. Typically, people post obverse pictures first. That is a WAM reverse, but that is the normal reverse of 1992 (and 1992D). The rare one is 1992 CAMs. I thought it was the reverse to your 1995, and that would be something! Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 02:00 am The only thing that may be interesting is in the fifth pic which, I believe, is the 1974 LMC. Rotated dies can be common but, that one may be a little outside of Mint tolerances. I'm no expert however. Even so, I wouldn't expect much of a premium , if any.

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 02:01 am Can't see much with the wheats. Can you try cropping images next time? The mintmark of the 1957 D looks a little funky on the left side - possible RPM? 1974 and 1979 are not misaligned, but they are rotated dies. The 74 might be enough to hold onto, but the 79 appears to be within the mint's 8 degree rotation margin of error. 2013, 1986, and 1995 are not mis hits, but they are misaligned dies. (Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, just trying to provide you with the correct terminology.) You should check the reverse of misaligned die coins to determine if it's just a misaligned die (not much of a premium) or if it's an off centered strike (more conventionally collectible). WAM info from my previous post still applies. Sorry for the delay, got sidetracked for a moment. Bring on any more questions you have! Report this Post to the Staff
goldnugget Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 03/13/2017 07:44 am I haven't found any information on a Wide AM on the 1995 Cent, but in the 2016 Deluxe Edition of the Red Book, they mention a Double Die Obverse-Rated in the Top 100 Greatest U.S.Modern Coins-goldnugget Report this Post to the Staff
