Just wondering what year this cent may be. There appears to be a die crack on the reverse from the 'T' in 'UNITED' to the roof of the Lincoln Memorial building.   |

Safe to say it has a zinc core?

Zinc core and first two digits of the date are '19'.
So in the range of 1982-1999

It's in the 1982 - 2008 range. 1982 was the first year for copper plated zinc cents, 2009 had the 4 Lincoln 100th anniversary reverses and 2010 to date are the Lyndall Bass reverse. |

That would be hard to figure out.

Any clues of that part of the reverse that could narrow it down to a WAM or CAM? |

Anybody in touch with coop? He had a nice collection of RDV photos that could be helpful.

well, as stated it would be dated from 1982 to 2008 and looking at TAT of states, it would be a WAM - which narrows it down to 1982 to 1992 |

An off center coin is one of the most common and best known types of errors, probably what drew me in initially to find an error coin from the mint. Coins with full dates are more desirable than coins without a date or missing digits and so when its missing we can just have fun and speculate only. With 19 I agree its 1982-1999, but I also agree with Eagle Eye Dearborn in that 1982-1992 had Wide AMs while 1993+ normally would have Close AMs so its most likely to be 1982-1992. 1959-1992 all business strikes and proofs are supposed to have a Wide AM1993 all business strikes and proofs have a Close AM1994-2008 all business strikes have a Close AMhttps://www.lincolncentcollection.c...amwideam.php |
