Message:: [QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1123565, member: 23626"]The varieties came about because some of the business strike cents were minted with NIFC reverse proof dies. Like the Type B Washington quarters. The WAM (Wide A M in AMERICA) are the 97-00 rare varieties. Normal for those years is the close AM (CAM). The 1992 D CAM (Close A M) is a transition coin. The Dies with the WAM changed in 1993 to the close variety but a very few of the 1992 D haved been discovered that had the 1993 reverse die, hence the CAM variety. Another rare variety is the 1988 reverse 89 transition cent. Rare for the Phillys and nearly non-esistent for the Denvers. Actually, only 3 or 4 have been authenticated by TPG's. Much info is available on the Lincoln Resource web site, with pics, descriptions, etc. Grab a couple of rolls and compare the reverses for the 92 and earlier to the 93 and later ones to get a good idea of what you are searching for. gary[/QUOTE]
