JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 5:14 pm While searching through a few 1992-P LMC rolls I came across a WAM that was noticeably wider than the usual WAM that I observed on virtually every other Cent in the rolls. It's obviously from a different die but has anyone else noticed any of these? Just curious.......... * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 5:27 pm This could be a slightly different die configuration - I can't say for sure. But, I think the more likely reason is die state, strike pressure, planchet thickness or a combination of these. If you notice, the letters are different thicknesses between your two examples. I've noticed variations like this between CAM s as well. Good eye seeing the difference. Edit: By the way, thanks to Crazy for schooling me on this stuff.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 9:29 pm Correct answers guys. The die polishing removed the wider part of these devices, leaving the deepest part still present on the die. Thus the extra space between the devices. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/20/2017 10:29 pm Coop, a suggestion for your image. Put TWO device lumps in the images so that it shows how when the die field is polished the final raised images appear further apart. Report this Post to the Staff
