That is a WAM reverse, as expected for the year. Quote:

It's a Wide AM. Normal for that year. Errers and Varietys.

 this is a WAM cent (normal) the 'A' in 'sTATes' is centered indicating a WAM as well as the location of the FG initials. Also noted is bad corrosion on the obverse. |

Looks to be a Linear Plating bubble on the obverse.

FG is too close to be a Close AM You mean, FG is too far away to be a Close AM. Close FG, Wide AM, far FG, Close AM. They oppose each other. -makecents-

In addition - look at the word 'States' also, in particular the 'TAT' part. If the 'A' is centered it is a Wide AM. If the 'A' is closer to the second 'T' then it would be a Close AM. |
