Mrhakfbacon Pillar of the Community United States 574 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 5:54 pm While roll hunting I found this penny, I think it is a Wide AM but I may be wrong. Unfortunately it's in bad shape so only worth a few bucks. Still cool though. Report this Post to the Staff

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 6:34 pm Excellent find. I'm glad to see that they are still out there in the wild. Don't forget to put it in some sort of air tight holder so the zinc core doesn't eat up the treasure. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95322 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 7:07 pm to help you with Wide AM and Close AM - we look at the following: There are 3 things we look at to determine Close AM. 1. the A is close to or touching the M, AND 2. FG Initials are far from the Memorial, AND 3. The 'A' in States (between the 2 'T's) is closer to the 2nd T (moved right) and for Wide AM: 1. the A and M have a nice gap, AND 2. FG Initials are close to the Memorial, AND 3. The A in States is centered (equal distance) between the 'T's Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff
