nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15433 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 04:55 am The reverse shown in those photos is the WAM variety - as expected for a 1992 dated Lincoln. Don't let the apparent closeness of AM fool you. That spacing is subject to change due to die wear and can appear at first glance to be a CAM. Your coin exhibits this phenomenon. I use the diagnostic spacing of the letter A in the legend STATES. When the A is centered between the adjacent T's then the reverse is a WAM. When the A is closer to the second T then the reverse is a CAM. See for yourself using this diagnostic - you have a WAM reverse.

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 08:15 am That FG appears to be from a Wide AM coin due to its closeness to the memorial base. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:43 pm Don't go by the AME, that is the worst marker to go by. The A is centered between the the T's in STATES and the initials are close to the memorial. It is a WAM. Report this Post to the Staff
