nicrob42 New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 12:16 am I saw this post (link below) from 2011 & didn't know if a 2001s Wide AM Lincoln CAM Proof is normal. http://goccf.com/t/102808 Sorry my pic's are terrible. I shake and the coin is still in the proof set case & unfortunately the case has some scratches. I know you can't tell in these pics but the FG also has a gap. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 01:38 am You're using conflicting terms with Wide AM ( WAM) and CAM ( Close AM). The 2001 proof cents should be Wide AM and yours is, so it is normal. Business strikes in this time (after 1992) should be Close AM. You may be confusing CAM meaning "cameo" (as that proof should be) and meaning "Close AM." Geez, I'm confusing myself and don't know if all of that is correct. Edit: to try and sort out the valuable varieties, I'll post this list of known examples: 1992 Business-strike Close AM 1998-2000 Business-strike Wide AM 1998-1999 Proof-strike Close AM In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020 In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020 In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024 Edited by spru 06/02/2017 01:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 1:45 pm The purported 1996 WAM doesn't exist, it was never examined by anyone other than the "discoverer" and then he claimed it was "stolen". The only reasonable explanation is that it was a hoax. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/02/2017 1:47 pm I feel the 1996 WAM was an altered coin. Soon after it was reported, then it disappeared (stolen). So I doubt the real thing ever existed. Probably a Magicians coin with a WAM reverse and a different obverse added to the coin. (my opinion) If it were real more would have been found. So far no others have been found. Report this Post to the Staff
