I've been through probably a million Pennie's by now and this is the first Wide AM I've ever found so I'm certain they are rare. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 5:20 pm I believe your coin is a Close AM, not the Wide AM you were hoping for. I cannot see the FG initials closely, but the FG isn't hugging the Memorial the way you'd want them to with a Wide AM. Come back with close, sharp images of the designer initials and we can revisit again your claim. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15395 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 7:53 pm to the CCF I agree it is a WAM - but this in no way is a rare coin and the worn spotty condition IMO does not warrant TPG evaluation. Congrats on your long awaited find. Secure it in a 2x2 and enjoy the find.
