Wide

 

Agree, wide AM. The deterioration is creating the image of it looking close.

 

So I'm ok to clean it to get a better look ?

 

no, its a wide am, it has a close "FG" which means its a wide "AM"....

 

Normally we would tell everyone to never clean a coin but in this case and with this much zinc problems I see no harm.

 

As they say the corrosion makes the am look close, my thoughts were the corrosion also made initials appear close ! Thanks for info !

 

I don't think that would make any difference.. you can't clean Split Plating away.

 

The F G tells the story i get faked out the time

 

Willysilver I did too ! I looked it over a few times before I posted it . I still wasn't sure so I decided to post it . The corrosion had me boggled !

 

Dont give up i wish us both luck

 

I buy a bucket of pennys from my local gas station once a month for 50 bucks i think i got a good chance there less shields to my advantage i think lol

 

Ditto ! I just found two very nice 1959 Lincolns in the box I'm going through now ! I posted those

 

Sweeet

 

Found a great 58

 

That looks nice! My oldest find is a 1925 so far . But the nicest are the 1959 and 1968 s .

 

Hard to find S here in tampa fla

 

Found a 1904 but in bad shape in the same bucket lol

 

I agree this is a Wide AM. The second photo showing reverse says it all. The A in States is centered between the Ts. This makes it a WAM. If it were a CAM the A would be closer to the second T.

No need to try to clean it for better confirmation. Toss it aside and keep searching.
