Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 05:55 am Does the 1996 WAM look like the 98-00 WAMs? I found a 1996 with an unequal seperation from AME but yet its apart. I've searched thousands of 1996s and this is the first I came across this. The AM base will touch eachother on a normal 1996. But this has a little seperation. So does anybody have any examples whatsoever of a 1996 WAM? Does this coin error even exist? Report this Post to the Staff

Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 07:29 am I dont think this a WAM but was wondering if the WAM of the 1996 is suppose to look like the WAMs from 98-00? Theres not enough info about this error and part of me dont think the coin really exist. Yet I look at every 1996s for the WAM. What I think the coin that was shown to people before was just an over polished die. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 09:21 am If there is a 96 WAM it would have the same attributes as the others. No need for pics. of the FG on yours. Notice the space between the M and E that is a Close AM. Report this Post to the Staff
Bullnuke Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 09:31 am I agree with Indian1 if this were a WAM it would look the same as the proof reverse as that is where the WAMs came from. Kie Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 09:49 am The letters AME should be centered to be a Wide AM. On Close AM the M is not centered. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 09:57 am The coin shown is a Close AM. As Coop says, on the WAM the M is equally spaced between the A and E. As the reverse die on a Close AM is polished or worn the A and M will become more widely separated. The M and E separate as well so the spacing remains unequal. Report this Post to the Staff
drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 10:06 am I agree with Conder101. It is Close AM. The M is not centered. Report this Post to the Staff
