Dray1961 New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 08/21/2018 1:45 pm I have 2 pennies 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 I get some opinions from fellow collectors on whether I'm seeing right or not. Thanks ! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 11:37 pm This is an issue of Different dies, the lower has been modified and the left leg of the M is skinnier than normal, the distance between the A and M is the same on bothe coins meaning both are Close AM's Report this Post to the Staff
Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 08/23/2018 11:38 pm I think they are both Close AM. The M is not centered between the A and E on either coin, which is one of the diagnostics on a Wide AM. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4404 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 4:18 pm These are both close AMs. The only differences are circulation damage and staining. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 4:40 pm Do I see a difference? Yes. Two different dies or die states. Both seem to be from CAM RDV"s. The remaining two markers would hopefully confirm when you're ready to show the whole reverse. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
