<p>[QUOTE="Eskychess, post: 209729, member: 4692"]This is my favorite error - You will also know a Wide AM by the little FG initials on the right hand side of the memorial. I found a 1998 Wide AM last Friday Night and pictures of it are below. Notice how the F and G are kind of close to the base of the memorial. On a close AM the FG initials are away from the memorial base and seem a little bit thinner in design. The difference can be seen with the naked eye - but it's not easy! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The best bet is to do what huntsman53 recommended - look at a 1992 penny and then look at a post 1992 penny. However, close AMs exist in the 1992 D and it is rumored in the 1992 as well! If you find any of those - please take pictures and share with us - but I must say I've been looking for years and although I've found 1998, 1999 and 2000 Wide AMs... haven't gotten my hands on a 1992 D Close AM yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
