I'm hoping that it is a 1992D Close AM Lincoln Penny. Is this a 1992D Close AM? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 09/30/2023 10:48 pm First off, glad you can ask us! This is the very common Wide AM, in the close version, these letters are nearly touching. Also a nice looking cent all around... Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15411 Posts	Posted 10/01/2023 11:28 am I'm circling back to provide some education - that is the goal of the forum after all. The best diagnostic for determining if you coin is a WAM or CAM is actually the A in T-A-T of STATES. If the A is centered between the two T then the coin is a WAM variety regardless of what the AM spacing might look like. If the A is much closer to the second T then the coin is a CAM variety. A quick look at your coin using this diagnostics makes it immediately obvious as a WAM. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Cereal_Killer New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/02/2023 02:13 am http://goccf.com/t/453686#3923055 Ive had some coins where it was hard to tell if the A is centered or not. What do you do then? The space between the AM can also be confusing because some close AMs arent actually touching but theyre still considered close Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/02/2023 6:18 pm My first PUP on these is the space between the memorial and the FG. Cam= wide space, WAM= close spacing. Never failed me yet. Report this Post to the Staff
