I moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention.

Can you post a picture of this coin with the error?

You need to be in that section when you click New Topic. So apparently you were browsing the section of Counterfeit Canadian Coins when you clicked New Topic to make this thread. I moved it to US Modern Variety and Errors.

According to http://www.Lincolncentresource.com/wideams.html
"1994-1997 and 2000-2007 S proof cents should all have Wide AM reverses."

Fuzzy is correct. If your coin has an S mintmark for that year, it is a proof strike and should be Wide AM. The only valuable varieties I know of on proofs then are the 1998 and 1999 Close AM with 1998 being the most rare. Otherwise, it's normal. Sorry.

But...

No reason to be sorry. I must have missed that it was only the S Mint Mark to only have the Wide AM when looking up the information! Thanks for the correct information! I have found a good penny with an Error though, that I Believe lol
Rest in Peace

to the forum!

Proof cents were not issued for general circulation, they were sold in sets to collectors. To find one in change is always cool.
