Titles are Important! * When a Cent features a Close AM design, are A and M supposed to touch or not? I thought they were, but this one is not touching, might be just damage. Need your input. Thanks Cheers Edited by Evan7 07/14/2019 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Evan7 Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 4:43 pm I've seen that video before. All business strikes after 1993 should feature a Close AM design up until 2008. My question is weather A and M should be touching or not? In my pictures A and M is not touching, I'd like to know why that is. I believe that it is Close AM penny, but what is weird to me is AM not touching. Thanks for your feedback! Report this Post to the Staff

A Close AM and a Wide AM is very obvious with the naked eye. Report this Post to the Staff
Evan7 Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 5:09 pm If this coin is not a Close AM that would make it a variety right? Because ALL 2001 supposed to be Close AM design. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 5:27 pm Rookie, if you could can you take a clear closeup pic of the FG at the bottom right of the memorial? Report this Post to the Staff
Evan7 Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 5:32 pm Jim, absolutely. After I get home. I wanna say the FG spacing indicates this coin to be a Close AM, however, the space between A and M seems significant to me. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 5:42 pm I can tell by the FG that you have RDV-007, the normal for that year. The FG is further away from the memorial than the other two varieties (RDV-005 and 006). Maybe the damage on the coin is hiding the Close AM. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 07/14/2019 5:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 07/14/2019 6:02 pm Appears to be RDV-007, "A" in STATES is not centered either. I believe normal for 2001 P Report this Post to the Staff
