    I have the pictures but they aren't close enough. In the close am for the 1992 d, the a and the m touch at the bottom right? and the words america is wider than the other 92 coins. I think I have one, but not sure. I am going to post my pics and see if you can tell.

    Compare the AM with another 92-D or even a 91-D. The odds are that you don't have this rarity but those odds have been broken before.

    i can't tell from that picture. but if you truly do, you have a very very rare error. send it in to a tpg. this way if you ever sell it, you will get the full value out of it. even if you don't sell it, having it verified will give it full value.

    It doesn't look like one, but post a less-blurry pic just to be sure.

    I think another thing to look for when trying to determine if a Lincoln Memorial Cent is a "Close AM" or a "Wide A M" is to look at the designer's initials "FG" at the base of the Lincoln Memorial on the right hand side. If it is a "Wide A M" the initials will be closer to the memorial. If it is a "Close AM" the initials will be further away from the memorial. It does help to look at other cents from the same date that are in extra fine condition so that you have a point of reference as to where the "FG" initial normally belong.

    Even though the photo is blurry, that looks like a wide AM to me.

    It would have been a close am if it were a 92, I mixed in a 94, so it was a mistake. (cry cry)

    I bought a 1973-D Kennedy labeled as a DDR in a 2x2 which I sent to PCGS who slabbed it as a 1973-D (No attribution) and then forwarded it to James Wiles for attribution who attributed it as a 1973. (???) I emailed him wondering about the error and he replied back to recheck the coin as it was actually a 1973 and not a 1973-D (despite what the slab said). Sure enough, it was a 1973 which I then forwarded back to PCGS to get corrected.

    It happens.

    Even with the blurry picture I can tell this is a wide AM reverse. On many of these the die deteriorates and the A and M can be very close. I've had a few heartstoppers myself.
