CLOSE AM and WIDE AM of 1 cent penny

In 1993, the design of the back side for both business passion and trial coins was transferred from Wide AM, as it usually was in 1992, and previous centers to Close AM designs. However, a few cents of 1992 were produced with a newer design of the 1993 AM Close. These are rare and valuable

For the coin production of trial coins in 1994, coins of trial and business strikes until 2008 have an opposite design on the reverse. In 2009, the “Shield” cent has completely replaced the Memorial Cent

However, in 1998, 1999, and 2000, coins were found for a business strike with a broad AM design (using the control matrix), when at that time there was a normal Close AM design. They are valuable too, but not as rare as 1992 cents. Also, in 1998 and 1999 trial coins were issued with the Close AM design (using business strike stamps)

To summarize the following is normal:

• 1959-1992 שall business strikes and PROOF must have a WIDE AM

1993 all business strikes and PROOF have a CLOSE AM

• 1994-2008 all business have CLOSE AM

• 1994-2008 all evidence – have a WIDE AM

This means that this list of rules is valuable

• 1992-P Business Strike Close AM

• Business 1992-D Close AM

• 1998-S Proof Close AM

• Proof – 1999. Close AM

• 1999-P Business Strike Wide AM

• 1998-P Business Strike Wide AM

• 2000-P Business Strike Wide AM

Moreover, in 1988, rare alternative reverses were made from the mints, which were at the beginning of the year. These are coins of 1988 with a transitional year, the reverse of 1989. This variety, unfortunately, is sometimes called the “Wide AM 1988,” although the “Wide AM” is normal for this year.
