<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 707819, member: 4350&quot;]Hi All,</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1996 Wide AM was reported on too soon.&nbsp; The coin was not authenticated.&nbsp; A few die variety experts saw high resolution images of the coin and we saw a seam evident on the obverse and if you remember,&nbsp; the reverse was supposedly rotated.&nbsp; The reason it was rotated is that the coin might have been a composite.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do not confuse this coin with the fabricated 1995 Wide AM that also had a rotated reverse.&nbsp; The 1996 was separate from the 1995 and both had the appearances of having been pieced together.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then under somewhat unusual circumstances,&nbsp; the coin was reported as stolen then the story was dropped as there was some question about the entire circumstance.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin was not authenticated and subsequently a report was circulated that the entire situation was a little suspect.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
