I am new to coin collecting and I wanted to make sure if I am correct that this Philadelphia penny from 2000 is a Wide AM and not just a normal one.

2000-Lincoln-Memorial-Cent-Wide-AM?

So am I correct that this is a Wide AM?

Looks like a Wide AM to me. On a Close AM there is no gap at the base of the letters between the A and M. Nice find!

Also, which was brought to my attention once, the engravers initials are closer to the memorial building.
And to the forum.

I only collect pennies and this is by far the best website I have found. Everyone is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.
