NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 05/24/2008 12:09 am I am going to say Close AM, but I am not 100% sure. Can you get a picture of the FG for comparison also. Report this Post to the Staff

cearnan New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 05/24/2008 12:56 am Darn it! I think it is the Close AM. This is a 1993D penny. I was hoping that this would be the first one of it's kind! Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/25/2008 12:31 pm Definitely Close AM. Another way to tell that's fail safe is to look at the distance between the "TAT" of "STATES". If the three letters are evenly spaced, wide-AM. If the A is a little closer to the second T, close-AM. There are actually a number of differences between the two designs. By far the most common known of these is the "AM" itself and the initials...But I had a case of an off-center cent that obliterated most of the AM and the initials were gone altogether, so I had to use STATES to determine which reverse it was. Just another way to skin the same cat. Report this Post to the Staff
