Confused about "AM" error on penny - what am I missing?

Hi everyone,

First, please excuse anything that I might say (shortly) that may seem ignorant, as I am new and am trying to learn.

I have heard about the 1992-D Penny error where the "A and M" is close (practically touching). Is this error significant and specific to only the 1992-D? Meaning, this error only is "significant" when it is seen on the 1992-D pennies? I was asking because I see a lot of pennies where the A and M is close (if not closer) than shown on the 1992, and many times, basically touching/connected, but in different years.

Just curious. Thank you!
