Well yeah if we just went cents,,, l would be making cents per hour.

Everything is chance, just like playing the lottery.

Yeah as it stands right now, I'm down roughly $1400 total cash spent give or take,,, and all I've got to show is a possible lightly cleaned 1834 Half Dime LM3 variety which Mr Lange identified for me/us, ty kind sir

Yeah it's a gamble, just like going to the casino in a way or at least the winning part,,, this one rocks I've got tangible stuff after all is said and done.

Also thanks to you guys,,I kinda retired the coin roll hunting for now.

Anyways great stuff, also yes Keith I agree

Thanks all

If and when you start looking again here a good article to read. It explains the other identifying markers for Wide AM’s and Close AM’s.https://www.lincolncentcollection.com/closeamwideam.php

Identifying a close AM and a wide AM is one of the few things I can do without my glasses. I can tell the difference 'a mile away',

Yeah this was one of the six, I'm thinking it's pretty close,,, you all would know.

Thanks all

And I don’t know why others on here feel the need to correct someone’s wording when they know exactly what the other person is talking about like really

@J P Mashoke was not correcting you nor, to my knowledge, have I ever seen this good man try to correct anyone.  J P was simply making a statement, in his own kind very explanatory words, which makes 100% absolute sense. I too frequently call CLose AM's  "CLAMS".  This is due to the letters CAM also, and more often, having the very well known meaning of designating a CAMEO type coin.  There are tens of thousands more Cameo coins out there than there are 1992 and 1992-D Close AM varieties.  I think it is a good thing that J P pointed this out.  Regardless, and with all due respect Keith, of what you may have in mind and mean to convey in words when compiling a post, answer or comment, it is always a good idea to use proper numismatic terminology (I'm not saying that CAM is not accepted for a Close AM designation but can be confusing to less educated collectors) so that the other newcomers to this great hobby do not become confused.  Just MHO here.
