I pulled about 60 or so '46s out when I got home. I noticed that the north/south orientation of the 4 was different on a couple and that made the 6 appear high. I also noticed on a couple of them that the 4 was rotated slightly. On most all of them the 4 is parallel with the one, but on these 2 it is tilted or rotated clockwise a few clicks.
Decided to make one for you. I actually didn't realize how much stuff actually changed from RDV-006 to RDV-007. Pretty interesting. Not perfect by any means but you can see the major changes easily. (spacing of the AM in america and TAT in states)
so i haven't returned my 200.00 in pennies YET! lol just wanted to know... are the wide "am" pennies found in mostly all the zinc years or are there specific years to concentrate on.... thank you so much for the valuable gif and info!
Wide am typically refer to 1998, 1999, and 2000 business strikes with the proof reverse design. However, the design used is from 1989-1992 on business strikes and 1989-2008 except for 1993 proof strikes. Rdv-007 is the only one that has the A and the M close together. All designs prior can be identified as being wide am. Thats why I prefer to use RDV numbers rather than the wide am or close am designation.
Hello Judy 1) You should create your own unique thread 2) It's a Cent not a Pennie (should be Penny) 3) Always provide sharp pictures of your coin!
The 1992, and 1992-D close AM are the ones you want. They are easily worth mid 4 figures. Especially the Denver.
