Nope. It's a CAM reverse. There are no know 2000 WAM from Denver, so the next one identified will be the first! |

Adding: To my eye the best and easiest diagnostic is to observe the spacing of the TAT in STATES. If the spacing between the letters is even, then the coin has a WAM reverse. If the A is closer to the 2nd T (as in your coin), then the coin has a CAM reverse. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

I never look at the AM to determine if it is or isn't a Wide AM. The designers initials are what you should look for. The devices may have been over polished creating a larger than normal gap between the A and the M. The image on the left as a regular closed AM designers initials, the image on the right is from a Wide AM reverse.  Edited by Jim0815

I would never say never. But FG is a good confirmation tool.

I edited my post. I changed it to say I never. That is just me, I've been almost fooled a time or two by looking at the AM.

As stated, Wide AM's don't exist on 2000 Denver cents, only on 2000 Philadelphia minted cents. Yours is the normal Close AM reverse. Errers and Varietys.

The designers initials are what you should look for. Great detail to pick! I see significant difference in the initials from your photos anyway, but am I seeing serifs on the ones on the WAM? Is the difference in the initials specific to a particular year? Do not read this sentence.
