I never in my life thought I'd find one of these, especially this nice. But tonight while roll searching I hit the payload! Tons of luster, pretty darn clean coin.

OK where is the person who has the comparison pictures that educate us so well. I'm not meaning this sarcastically, I've been putting those pages in my favorites for quick references. Saves you guys from having to answer the same question over and over.

I have seen pictures that try to explain, but I am just not seeing it. Yours always make it seem so obvious.

Thanks guys! I had to look at this about 20 times even though I'm good at spotting them....I just couldn't believe my eyes. I was even holding CLAM's and WAM's right next to it because I couldn't believe it was real. LOL

Here is an example of the Close and Wide AM.
1999-Lincoln-Memorial-Cent-WAM---OH-Yea-Baby!
The pre 1992 Memorial Cents have the Wide AM. 1993 both proof and business strike cents have the Close AM. The 1994 forward should be the Close AM for the business strike coins and proof Cents have the Wide AM. The years of 1998, 1999 and 2000 Philly and proof Cents have exceptions to the rule thus making them worth a lot more than a normal cent. The 1999 Show above being one of the most valuable ones.
