Personally, based upon the position of the initials, I think its a Wide AM coin. What about you? What I DO know is that on the Wide AM Reverse, the initials are close to the Memorial while on the Close AM, the initials are further away from the Memorial. I'm wondering if this is worth the cost of grading and how much kick back I'd get from PCGS..........on the Wide AM Status.
I'll go out on a limb and say you got a 2000 wide am but what is up with the coin itself. Can you post a full pic?
It's an off center Lincoln strike on a copper plated zinc planchet which plating breaks all over the place.
I can understand why you'd think that but I'd have to ask, why would you think I'd post a thread about on Off Center Strike, post a photo of a coin with ground off edges and then why would someone grind off the edges of a 2000 P Wide AM Lincoln? Of course, folks have dine dumber things when they didn't know what they had but I happen to know that the coin is an off center strike. The best I could surmise on the edges, it that the blanks for these coins were manufactured and then plated by a third party vender which would mean that on an out of collar off center strike, the plating would be stressed and broken on the edge affected by the metal flow of the strike.
The whole coin does make the difference @19Lyds you do have a nice combo of a off center WAM. Value can be up there. Nice find.
The FG is also sitting much closer to the memorial's base than CAM along with having the WAM style G.
