How much close is considered for close AM for 1992 d penny? In this coin, the FG font seems correct for close AMs, but the gap, not sure. And the FG shows some doubling too! What is your opinion, please?
Not even close to close! @Teran Here is a close AM compared to a wide AM http://www.lincolncentcollection.com/closeamwideam.php
I'm confused? I just said his isn't a close AM... I was saying it was A M instead... this is close AM... I don't understand how I'm wrong?
Well good for you, then that means you're right! In fact, that's one surefire way you tell around these parts.
My apologies for the confusion I caused by responding to the OP and including a photograph after you had already responded @DarkRage666 . I just thought I would add a photograph since no one had. Peace!
I only responded that way because @LaCointessa accidentally confused me... I was a little confused by the responses.
In this link, the close AMs are not touching, but they are close and my post shows the same and the font is correct apparently.
Sometimes multiple responses are being written and the sequence of the posts vary by the content of each and is often a bit confusing. It happens from time to time.
Ok, here we go. An example of close AM is: AM_E or A_M__E. The spacing between the A and M is significantly less than it is between the M and the E. Your coin is equally spaced. Sorry you do not see it. The A and the M do not need to be touching and I have not encountered one, however, if one is out there somewhere, it is the result of die deterioration doubling or mechanical doubling.
