I saw a mention somewhere that a '63-D PCGS-GRADED at MS-67 was sold for over $14,000 but no reference was made to the positioning of the letters A and M.

Oldhoopster Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 1959-1991 reverses should all have the same AM Close/Wide AM varieties did not occur until 1992. The mint made a new CAM reverse for use starting in 1993, but some CAMs were struck in 92. In 1994, the used the old WAM reverse for Proofs. They mixed up a few in 1998-2000. I found the information here. Good site to bookmark. http://lincolncentresource.com/wideams.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Quote On the 1963 D penny it should always have a close AM correct Wrong. Between1959 and 1991 they were all WAM It was not until1992 that the first Cam was introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 No such thing as a close or wide AM in the early memorial cent production, as noted above the wide/close issue did not become a thing until 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
