Just saying - it's highly unlikely this is what you hope it is - but we need to see the rest of the reverse die markers to say for sure. Edit - I've asked the CCF moderators to move your post to the proper forum for better attention from our experts. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 08/19/2018 5:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21643 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 5:10 pm Sorry, That's not a Wide AM The M has to be centered between the A and M to be considered to be wide. I don't believe Denver produced a WAM after 1996. Edited by JimmyD 08/19/2018 5:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 6:30 pm The A and M are not sufficiently separated to classify this as a " Wide AM" reverse. to CCF!

Dray1961 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 1:55 pm These 2 pennies are from the same year and mint side by side under a pc microscope and I noticed a difference in the a and m in America. Can some fellow collectors give me their opinion ? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5240 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 2:15 pm We can resolve this one pretty QUICK! If the FG initials at the bottom right hand base of the Memorial are the exact same, then they are a Closed AM. What you have is a closed AM cent. I believe you are about to waste your money my friend. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 2:57 pm The clue is to not look for at the AM area. Look at the the location of the 'M'. Centered it is was Wide AM. Not centered it is a Close AM. There are only two styles. Wide and Close AM. RDV-005-007: Die wear can affect the location on the Close AM's. So look to see if the 'M' is centered or not?

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 3:36 pm Dray, Take a look at the left leg of M and compare on both coin, the left leg of the M on the coin in question is skinnier than the other one! and that's what coop is demonstrating here, it is the result of Die wear that has opened up a bit extra space between the M and the A.
