The topic is about the Lincoln 1990 no mint mark. The info that I found stated "The San Francisco Mint produced ONLY proof coins and this error coin( Lincoln Cent 1990 is also a proof coin). The Lincoln Cent that I have is not proof so I guess that means, it isn't the coin that I thought it was. However it does have a Wide AM and maybe it's worth something. (please dont tell me I posted in the wrong forum) I tried and tried to get the correct forum

It was an online site. I will see if I can find it. I am having trouble posting photos. I don't have a good camera, only Sony with 5X magnification and an iPad.

By the way, coins that are not proof have a larger value than a business coin? I call a business coins are those that the mint put in circulation. Proofs are sold to investors. My coin isn't proof. As I said yesterday,it's 1990, no mint mark with Wide AM. I will keep trying to post photos.
My problem is taking a good clear photo

If it's not a proof, it's just a regular Philadelphia mint business strike.

I could be wrong but 1990 is common to have Wide AM. 1993 is when they started to be closed in circulated coins

What site was it? It will help us to see exactly what/where you are talking about. If you quote sources, it's always a good idea to list your source.
