Haven't been in the coin world long but I'm no stranger to a weird looking coin. Today I came across a 2000 D Lincoln penny and what appears to be a close "AM"...mmm now I'm not saying I came across the coin of a life time but simply wanting to know if this is an error or do all 2000 pennies have the close "AM"?
I found a close AM 2000 penny too and the fg is far from the memorial... I also have wide AM Which are collected. Email address removed for security. 40-50 bots are always reading the posts for info. Use conversations after 10 posts Please let me know
I have two of them on my hand now.They are thinner in size and feel lighter in weight and they both have close am but my coins are stuck besides another penny and appear to be somewhat smaller I have a 01993,d the same way what are these coins
This is why I am looking on line. I have a 2000d penny with a close am? What drew me to this coin was the feel that it felt lighter than a normal penny.Info?
Close AM for that year is normal, as already posted in this old thread. If you truly believe you ever have a coin that weighs less or more than normal, you will need to weigh it on a gram scale that goes to at least hundreths of a gram. Then compare that to the normal range for the coin.
Now I'm Confused. I thought the Wide AM variety that you need to be on the look out for in the 2000 year was only a "P", not the "D".
You're correct. There have not been any Denver mint coins with the proof reverse. Regardless, I don't know why people seem to think weight has anything to do with it.
