aswen001 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/16/2009 11:23 pm I found this 1992 in a roll of pennies. I am almost certain it is a Close AM 1992. The AM is touching and you can see the difference in the other 1992 I put next to it. close on left wide on right. But when looking at the FG initials I cannot tell if it is or isn't. My camera only has autofocus so I couldn't get any closer. Ill try to get someone with a better camera to take a picture. Wanted to get more opinions about it being a close 92.

aswen001 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/16/2009 11:43 pm so what accounts for how much closer the AM is on the left one I found compared to all the other ones I found that look like the one on the right? Report this Post to the Staff
ratman4762 Pillar of the Community United States 2520 Posts	Posted 06/16/2009 11:55 pm Doesn't look like one to me either! I've heard that worn dies can cause what you're asking about. Grab a 1999 cent and compare it to that. You'll see the difference especially in the fg. Report this Post to the Staff
daviscfad Pillar of the Community United States 4541 Posts	Posted 06/16/2009 11:56 pm first of all I would also say its a Wide AM. The AM have to touch and also the FG on a Close AM will be further away from the memorial than it would on a wide \|AM. Look at both cents and compare the FG initials and see if they are some what the same on both coins. I have found cents with a Gap that were still not considered Wide AM b/c of the designers initials not being right Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/17/2009 12:55 am The two are both wide A M's. The difference is not that the A&M are touching as much as the M being centered between the A & E. Both coins of yours show the centered M in AMERICA. On the Close AM there is a space between the M & E of AMERICA. See if this helps: Edited by coop 06/17/2009 12:56 am Report this Post to the Staff
