It's essential to have it in the title. * Please see the two attached pics. The obverse are both 2000 Lincoln Memorial (Philly) nothing particularly special or different between them or other 2000 P memorial cents. The reverse of these coins are what I have shared in the pics. Focus on the A and M and see one cent has the AM visibly separate and someone labeled this holder as a Wide AM. The other pic shows the AM literally touching each other and was labeled Close AM. The Close AM reverse also shows some doubling throughout the reverse of the coin. I could really use some help ID'ing these, and if they are error coins or not, or if they are properly labeled with the correct error. Thanks for any inputs or knowledge VR Ben Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8733 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 2:03 pm If both are 2000 P coins, then yes the top coin is a WAM and the second coin is a CAM. The WAM is a minor transitional variety and worth a few dollars. On the second coin, I see Machine Doubling, which is a worthless and common doubling.
