    I have a 1993S cent that appears to have the "AM" error.

    In this photo you will see a 1992S, 1993S and 1994S cent. The "AM" on it.

    That is correct. Proofs have the "wide AM". Recently, it was discovered that a few 1999 proof lincolns were struck with the buisness reverse, i.e. the "narrow AM" reverse.

    is it just me, or my lame monitor, but the 93 looks like a business reverse? but was it not in 1994 that they started using the narrow am for business strikes?

    You see the same thing I do - the AM is almost touching on the '93. And the other diagnostics for a business strike appear to be correct as well. Read these articles and judge for yourself - Article 1 Article 2

    I asked Mike Diamond his opinion on this and he referred me to this article in CONECA - Click Here

    It appears the coins are as they should be.
