oldmike Pillar of the Community Canada 891 Posts	Posted 03/25/2017 2:32 pm I'm going to say no, Look at the A in states, if it's centered between the t's its a WAM Report this Post to the Staff
Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 03/25/2017 3:50 pm Bad pictures, but I'm used to that from ebay! I'll agree with oldmike on this one and say Wide AM. Positioning of the A in STATES is rather definitive for me. There is a visible gap between the A and M of AMERICA which I imagine is larger than the image shows because of the fuzziness. FG also looks a little too close to the memorial. Better pictures would let us tell you for sure, but I'm comfortably 75%+ that it's a Wide AM. Report this Post to the Staff
Havok New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 04:26 am I am truly sorry about the bad picture. I got this new iPad and I'm at a lost. But will provide a proper picture. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/26/2017 05:01 am I'll repeat it but, what year is this cent? It makes a big difference. That aside, it looks like a Wide AM.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/27/2017 11:16 pm Yep it's definitely a Wide AM, but if it's a 1998-2000 then that's a good thing. Any other year, then it's normal.
