I found this 1992 penny in great shape, I am new to roll hunting, could anyone help identify what I have. I would really appreciate the input.

It is definitely a WAM which is the expected normal reverse for that year.

There are three accurate diagnostic pick up points - the least accurate is the spacing between the AM.

I prefer to focus on the location of the A between the two T in STATES

If the A is centered between the two T - then it is a WAM. This is your coin

If the A is definitely closer to the 2nd T then it is a CAM reverse.

This is easy to see and easy to remember so put that knowledge to use in your roll searching.

I agree with Smat.
The AM would be touching ... almost. The designer's initials are also a way to tell.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
