    You have wide AM in your pictures. For 1992 you need to find the Close AM.

    Imho, nope. Not seeing it. Your looking for a close am92.
    Your coin was not stamped with two different dies. It is just a worn zincoln. Sorry. Looks more like md.

    Ive been collecting since 1995, but I accept opinions, you seem to prejudge, without clearly stating what you meant. the person in my opinion was looking for info on close or wide, and they added over on accident, a common thing.

    Its the same in real life, you ask one question, and everybody has a different opinion, people tend to look for the flaws in their wording instead of helping. I did stop collecting through a divorce, it made me so sick to sell my collection, I dident buy another for 10 years through the 2000s

    Paddy I certainly don't know it all, but some things ive done allot of research on, and some things, I value the opinion of others. I collect mainly modern coinage because its affordable, and I know enough about values to shop informed.

    What Paddy said in post #6.
    To have a Wide AM over a Close AM would require 2 sets of dies to make that coin.
    I don't think that's possible.
    It would have to be struck first with the Close AM reverse die, and then again,
    perfectly lined up with the Wide AM reverse die. At the speed these machines work
    that can't be done.
    A person who had access to the dies, I guess could make one by hand. But I think that would be illegal.

    Thanks. He actually stated that it was in error in how he stated the title. I later understood.
    He knows the difference ;)
