angiedcannon New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 12/08/2024 08:28 am This is my 1996 Wide AM With the serif on the designer's G. I am looking for any little thing that could improve the value of the Lincoln Cent. Maybe some columnar doubling on the Reverse? Any input is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 12/08/2024 09:09 am Welcome to CCF The proof is supposed to be a Wide AM. That is the entire paradigm of the Wide AM, a Proof Reverse was used on the circulation strike. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

I hadn't realized that, I thought the CAM vs. WAM and Flared G varieties were all year-to-year transitional mistakes. Report this Post to the Staff

There is also a 98S clam that is rarer than the 99S but not as rare as the 92P/D clam. That is what my avatar is. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
