1992 Lincoln Penny

[hogan36]

I was looking at 1998 1999 2000 Wide AM's (Click the link) trying to determine if this penny was a Wide AM or Close AM. I don't see a hook on the "G." I had to clean the penny a little bit just to make sure. The FG on the Close AM is not suppose to have the curve. I'm having a hard time determining it. I need you all's expert opinion on if this is a Close AM Penny or not.

Yepper, wide AM.

Wide, but is that a little piece of cud between the A and M?

Very likely not. Default for zinclons is plating bubble. Defining this single defect by the images provided is impossible.

worth less than a real penny

Thanks!!

Just wondering, you do realize it's supposed to be wide don't you?

If you're talking about the penny that I'm searching for, according to the Lincoln cent resource, its suppose to be a 1992 Close AM. The only thing that confuses me is the FG. It looks like the G sometimes has the curve to it which is why I posted this. I just wanted to get help from the forum to make sure. I've been constantly searching for a 1992 Close AM penny on my own.

we all want to get "close" to a '92-- I did fall into the GAP of a '99--- sold it for $115

I hope I get that lucky. I'm looking for either or (99 OR 92). I know you can get them off of eBay but I just get so excited searching myself. The closest I've ever gotten is a 1998 P.

found about 6 '00's & 3 '98WAM's--- but the '84 Doubled ear (sold for $100) was in the same box as the '99 WAM-- $215 for that pair to same buyer--- it was raining free boxes of cents or pennies

Wow!! I wish it was me. I've been on a hunt ever since I heard about the 92. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places because I get $20 rolls from the casino & also at my back I purchase $10 - $20 rolls and still haven't ran up on either one of them. I guess if I stop looking so hard, it'll just pop up. I guess I want it too bad.
