    Basically the only ones you need to care about WAM/CAM-wise are 92/98/99/00

    Hi PamR.

    Look, to add some clarity to the whole WAM vs. CAM thing, the mint made 8 reverse types over the memorial cent series, listed here:
    http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/Memorial Reverse Design Varieties.htm

    the 1992 is supposed to be RDV-006. Some were Struck with RDV-007, the "close AM" reverse.

    in 1998-1999-2000, the cents were supposed to be struck with RDV-007, instead they were struck with RDV-006.

    Why this happened for the 1998-1999-2000? Because they were using RDV-006 for the S mint proof cents and got the dies mixed up at philly, it's also why there are CAM (RDV-006) proof cents in 1998 and 1999 that were supposed to be WAM (RDV-007), shipped some wrong dies to San Fran.

    Hopefully this explains and clarifies what they are, and how they came to be.

    the 1992 was a transitional year, and they transitioned to the new dies of the following year somehow early in a limited quantity. so there are 1992 CAM (RDV-007).

    take a look at the page linked, and hopefully it triggers the "aha! moment". :)
    best of luck to you!

    This is a no I do believe but opinions appreciated. I am going to post another date to see if you all see some questionable spots. 6489802D-A37E-40B5-9D95-007FD922E056.jpeg EC9A82B5-7257-4EAA-B79E-AAB007086295.jpeg 7EA72562-0BF8-4B8E-BFA4-545E78F7B44A.jpeg 4476EED7-0486-467D-A0C5-2D93041D1C49.jpeg C1808C14-7A60-4FF7-9F94-D05626113709.jpeg D9A17D2D-445C-4E9C-95F2-07BE710D8C97.jpeg
