Cleiknes New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 08/09/2023 2:37 pm I'm not sure, but I think I found two 1999P wide "AM" pennies. Could someone verify for me? Is there a certain distance the "A" and the "M" have to be separated by to make it qualify as a wide "AM"? The pennies are not in the best condition though....(attached are 3 pics of each penny) Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6495 Posts	Posted 08/09/2023 3:06 pm The hot linked article for WAM and CAM does a great job laying out the rare dates and the identification. Although there is also a helpful note on these forums about the positioning of the A in STATES as a clue. Edited by Brandmeister 08/09/2023 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: there is also a helpful note on these forums about the positioning of the A in STATES as a clue Let's clarify that this is not a clue but rather a definitive diagnostic that can be relied upon 100% of the time. If the A is T-A-T is centered between the two T then the coin is a WAM variety. If the A is closer to the second T then the coin is a CAM variety.
