Cole317 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 05/30/2009 11:07 pm I'm afraid to clean it, and I'm trying to not get excited cause I really don't want to cry when I find out this is a CAM. Well here it is http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/...img1480b.jpg http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/...img1485m.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

Cole317 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 05/30/2009 11:15 pm The more I look at it, it looks like a CAM, I've compared it to other 1994s, and it definitely looks wider, but when I compare it to my 1999 WAM it looks on the close side. Report this Post to the Staff
John Paul Valued Member United States 232 Posts	Posted 05/30/2009 11:25 pm I am not an expert by any means - but at first glance the M looks closer to the A than it does to the E. So, my guess is that it is a Close AM -but I am sure more knowledgeable folks will post here soon. Report this Post to the Staff
Cole317 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 05/30/2009 11:30 pm yup, It's a tricky one for me, I really need one of those microscopes. how could I clean this off to make it more clear? Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 05/31/2009 12:33 am Sorry, looks like a CAM. The space between the M & E is much greater than the space between the A & M. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 05/31/2009 01:18 am Disclaimer: CAM is the standard abbreviation for CAMEO, however, I use it to describe Close AM. It's easier to type and I'm lazy. Here's a side by side of CAM and WAM. Once you get used to the font, it's easy to pick them apart. I used proofs for the sharpest examples. See how much narrower the CAM's font is? It looks like a WAM went on a diet! Lincoln Cent Lover!

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 05/31/2009 01:25 am Anyway, It is a normal cent for 1994. As noted, the space between the M and E of AMERICA is wide indicating a normal coin. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

It's easier to type and I'm lazy. BadThad, Why don't you try "CLAM" instead of "CAM" as I recommended earlier? Or are you afraid that it will misinterpreted as a Clamshell Error (Split Planchet)?
