ErrorsRcool Valued Member United States 101 Posts	Posted 07/08/2024 11:04 pm Hi Avant123. The Wide AM you are talking about is found on the reverse side of 1998,1999, and 2000 pennies. The A and M have a gap at the base of the letters. Instead of looking like AM, it is more like A M. I hope this helps. ErrorsRCool. Report this Post to the Staff
