Britton699 Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 01:26 am I found this 1995 penny and to me it looks like a Close AM penny. Ive compared it to other pennies and you can definetly tell the difference but I would like to get some opinions on it. So please look carefully and let me know. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 01:49 am It's a Close AM and normal for the date. The only varieties known to look for on business strike coins is: 1992-(P) & D Close AM (rarest) 1998-(P) Wide AM 1999-(P) Wide AM (more rare) 2000-(P) Wide AM If you're looking at proofs, then these: 1998-S Close AM (more rare) 1999-S Close AM No others are known to exist. I hope this helps. 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 Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 01:53 am 1992 was last year for Wide AM...starting in 1993 it is close. Exceptions are: 1992P/D "close AM, far FG 1993 P/D "wide AM, close FG(suspected, think only one D has been found, ultra rare) In 1998-2000 on P mint ONLY! is the "wide AM, close FG" version the rarities!

Or is that the story of another undiscovered variety? It's difficult to keep it all straight but, I do know that my post above is correct and accounted for.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/23/2017 08:32 am No I believe that was a 96. I'm not aware of a WAM 1993. It could be possible though if a 1992 reverse was left over and used the following year. Report this Post to the Staff
