Daniel, another great video pal, your knowledge and passion for coins and collecting are obvious! Thanks so much for taking the time to educate and talk to us about the hobby we all love 👍
Daniel, thank you so much for your time, info and everything else you do for the coin community. I love your videos as they've taught me so much. Your also very handsome and nice to look at
Thank you! Just looked through a jar of cents and pulled out all the red ones. Out of three 98's, four 99's and four 2000's, I found 1 wide AM 98. Even has the different FG. Never looked at cents before - how cool to find something a bit rare.
Its not so bad if you have a good aystem. I organize by decade, refresh the key dates of that period, then try to stick to one year at a time, so I can focus on one peculiarity at a time, certain years like '82 get weighed so copper is separate from the zinc junk, then start running through with obvious keeper, look agains and cash in piles. Bada bing bada bang. Its a pita if youre all over the place decade wise.
That's a good thing for those of us that take the time to do it. That puts potentially valuable coins back in circulation for someone else to find. It's a relaxing (and sometimes rewarding) hobby. I set aside short blocks of time to sort coins. It works for me. Have a great day my friend
Hey Daniel, I found a 1998 WAM yesterday. I'm not concerned with its monetary value because it was such a thrill to find it after watching your video. I posted it on CHU Community just to get personal verification. Thanks again for the videos and CHU Community. Also got my eye out for that elusive 96.
Daniel Idk how many times I've watched this video I keep refreshing my memory using it as a reference guide. Your kindness in sharing your knowledge is much appreciated. However you are a part of what in my case is fast becoming an obsession instead of just a cheap hobby that I can cash out at face value anytime. I have big ideas now of constructing a sorting table for coins to separate them by year date first then work each date and mint while referencing material before then putting the ones I don't keep back in the financial system. You may need to start up a rehab for those who become addicted to this. Perhaps a video or disclaimer might be in order.
This is the best descriptive video I have ever seen on this topic. It finally makes sense to me. I may actually be able to recognize one of these coins now. Thank you!
Simply wow after watching this video I am mediately sent it to my mother and father who are also slight coin enthusiast, and told them that this is by far the best nine minutes at work I have had in two years. I immediately felt more knowledgeable overall had more clarity into the differentiation between these nuance varieties and was able to confirm and deny a couple of coins I have that I wasn’t exactly sure about. Bottom line you did an absolutely wonderful job and thank you so very much for the informative video also thank you for confirming the fact that I have an actual 1992D close AM it’s also red with very very very few cosmetic dings after looking at what some coins get 65s and 66s for I wholeheartedly believe it should be that or pretty darn close I will absolutely follow up with pictures and the outcome of the sale/auction/show and tell party with friends whatever it may be but in large part it was because of this video giving me the confidence to trust my gut and look a bit harder and understand that it actually is too good to be true for once YAY!!! Cam!
I know this video is from three years ago I’m wondering how you made out? Maybe you’ll see it maybe you won’t. I hope it turned out well for you in any case!
There's also Wide "AM" for the 1988 and the 1988-D ! I found an '88 WAM in a beautiful BU condition not long ago! Just a little heads up, while you're checking your change!
Good job Daniel I saved this as to watch a few times. You made it simple but I make things hard so I figured if I watch it enough I will remember. Great topic as usual. Daniel wishing you a great day from Florida.
Glad I researched all of your vids, especially this one! Even though this was out about a year ago, today is the day I confirmed my recent finds! (2) 1992 cams (in pretty good condition), a 1998 Wide am & a 2000 wide am. Still looking for that 1996. crossing my fingers! Momma needs a home of her own!!!! Have a good night!
I would also like to say how much I enjoy your UA-cam videos, they are so informative thank you so much. Your knowledge is unending, I am really trying to learn more about coin collecting and have brought the books you suggested. But again thank you for your knowledge. Also I am so sorry you get people that cuss you and don't care about the great information you give but you do have people out here that do appreciate what you do.
Hello there I have a 2005 P roosevelt dime that im having some issues over . Some say its been damaged but under the microscope I can clearly see doubling on the obverse . But im really not sure what happened to this dime could you help me with this .
Thanks for this info! I’m just starting out and I have seen many pennies that is close AM . I’ve wondered if it was anything or not. Appreciate all your hard work bring these videos to us. 👍😊
hello i have old coins from USA i want to sale this coin i send u the list of yrs. please help me this co i need a money to make a home. Im from phils.
I realy like all your videos. Very well explain with many details, (no chichi, ) going to the point, no losing time . what I like the best is the way that you use to make it easy to understand. Well done. Many thanks. Real D R. Canada
I'm glad I stop and found this page even its a older site I been throwing all my 1996 98 99 2000 in my piggy bank and not really watching for these dates!! Thank you for the new Info. Daniel,
Thanks Daniel for this video. I went searching for the wide am's In my coin collection, and found 8 coins that were 1998,1999,and 2000. I also found, out of those 8 coins , 2 were the 1996 P wide am. I 'd like to get those coins authenticated and graded , then sold. I just need help getting that done. Do you consign coins for coin collecters? If not, do you know anyone who does? Thanks again.your coin vids are Very informative.
@@CoinHELPu Teach sometimes they look close or wide especially the 90's being the font, you really got to tilt it to see it is wide, many time I thought wide till I moved them around all angles perhaps you might do a clip on this cause the font can fool you. Like show how it looks wide at 1st glance then tilt it ;) I wonder if any errors will pop up being it changed again in 2009 back to wide ish more even. When they came out with the 4 set of Lincoln.. it was getting me confused I had to lay out all the years and see the change
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this and yes I did have to write it down in my binder and rewatch. That 1996 is very interesting, I've never heard about that one. I am definitely going to recheck my coins. May you have a great week. Take care. ☕🌞👏🏼🤯🙂
I remember the Close AM variety on some 1999-S proof cents. I was fortunate to read news of some 1998-S Close AM being found too and found three very soon after news broke. All I can say is that every close AM proof cent I found were in the Clad proof sets, never saw one in a silver proof set. Just FYI. I've never found a wide AM business strike but only look as unc mint sets. Excellent video!
@@CoinHELPu Wow, thanks; my theory is out the door. Assuming the clad and silver sets may have been assembled separately, or even months apart, this renews my search.
How's it going hope every1 is fine..Anyhow I got 1996 with and without mint mark but also with wide and close a.m...Double stamped how do I go about selling them
can the close AM still be found on the 2000 and up to the 2005. I have a 2005 Phillidelphia minted cent and it has both characteristics you listed for the 1992.
You're looking for the Wide not the Close AM on 2000. Please buy a coin guide like this one portsmouthcoinshop.com/?product=2025-red-book-coin-price-guide-spiral-bound-guide-book-of-united-states-coins
I’m confused. Are there some pennies that have a close “AM” that also have the sarif on the G? Like the 96? I’m seeing where more wide “AM’s” have the sarif but it looks like some close “AMs” do too.
You have five pennies posted,1996 you did not specify which am is the error for that year? Could you clarify that for me please? 1996 close or wide AM FOR THIS YEAR? THANKS BUD
I took notes this time. I have a much better understanding of the close and wide AM's. Thank you so much.
Thank you. It's about time someone went over this for us.
All the best.
have this 1996 1pc. thankyou for infos...GODBLESS !=)
You really explain this kind of tricky wams and cams better than most! Thanks for making it easy to remember! 👍🏼Lots of Love Bobbi 👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼

Very few people have the patience and ambition to thoroughly search pennies.
Its not so bad if you have a good aystem.

Bada bing bada bang. Its a pita if youre all over the place decade wise.
I used to be very patient. But I haven't searched change in a few years. Only here and there.
Your right about that. It therapy for me lol
That's a good thing for those of us that take the time to do it. That puts potentially valuable coins back in circulation for someone else to find.
It's a relaxing (and sometimes rewarding) hobby. I set aside short blocks of time to sort coins. It works for me.

I have a 1999 Denver mint is located under the two nines but under the last nine is an s mint Mark has a close ATM what can you tell me about this
Wow I had never heard of the 1996 WAM until this video! Thanks man for sharing this. Now I have another treasure to hunt for. See ya in the next one.
Yes I just checked PCGS Coin Facts and they gave no mention of a WAM for 96 (P&D?).
I just check all dates up until the shield cents, just in case I may find something yet undiscovered.
I have that kind of penny 1996 close AM
Thanks again I appreciate it and your doing a great job explaining it 💯💯😁😁. Making it easier to understand how it works.
Hello there I have a 2005 P roosevelt dime that im having some issues over . Some say its been damaged but under the microscope I can clearly see doubling on the obverse . But im really not sure what happened to this dime could you help me with this .
I would send it to the examiners at CONECA even with a doubled die a damaged coin isn't going to be worth much unless it is a rare example.
Thanks for this info! I’m just starting out and I have seen many pennies that is close AM . I’ve wondered if it was anything or not. Appreciate all your hard work bring these videos to us. 👍😊
OK, it took a couple of times but I think I’ve got it straight! I’ll be checking my Lincoln cents. Thank you, Daniel😊
I watch this video over and over again while hunting through pennies.
1st time watcher and new to collecting. Thanks so much for making this clear and concise explanation. Sub'd
Thanks for the sub!

Write down a list and keep it beside you.
I have a video posted where I find almost 50 close am varieties in one video. But no 92 AM
@@RestoreITdontJunkIT only the 1992 close am is a variety so are you sure this is what you mean?
@@CoinHELPu yes my brother, I have other close am yrs, but no 92... 😭
@@RestoreITdontJunkIT Close AM is normal so it's not a variety unless it's the 1992
Thank you finally some one who tells the truth I love the break down you do thank brother you got the best videos, knowledge
That was EXTREMELY helpful!! Thanks.
I'm glad I stop and found this page even its a older site I been throwing all my 1996 98 99 2000 in my piggy bank and not really watching for these dates!! Thank you for the new Info. Daniel,

Thanks Daniel for this video. I went searching for the wide am's
In my coin collection, and found 8 coins that were 1998,1999,and 2000.
I also found, out of those 8 coins , 2 were the 1996 P wide am.
I 'd like to get those coins authenticated and graded , then sold.
I just need help getting that done. Do you consign coins for coin collecters?
If not, do you know anyone who does? Thanks again.your coin vids are
Very informative.
We only consign already graded coins. You can watch my video on sending coins to PCGS or NGC.
@@CoinHELPu Teach sometimes they look close or wide especially the 90's being the font, you really got to tilt it to see it is wide, many time I thought wide till I moved them around all angles perhaps you might do a clip on this cause the font can fool you.

What methods do I have to go through in order for you guys to review the coins that I have
Wam, Cam, Blam, Thank you Man!
LOL. You're welcome
Man you so smart and I am glad you're here.thankyou
The 1996 is doubted by all authority I know of, but I still look since it's possible.
Yes and could have been a fake since a 1995 was also discovered.
@@CoinHELPu I hadn't heard about that year. Is there an article?
i got 1996 but dont know if is the one u looking for
wide
am is closed
I have this for 2 years together.
Yes 1995 and 1998. I'd like to know how much to buy in the market.
Please watch my video all the way through. Thanks
I feel so much SCHMARTER now..🤫Thanks!🧐
I put this one in my saved videos for future reference. Good job explaining. Thanks Daniel.
Thank you!
OH MY, YOU MEAN THERE ARE OTHERS WITH A WIDE AM? OK , THEN I'M GETTING THE 90'S BACK OUT.
Haha
Yes I have a 1967 quarter with a figure 8 in the neck area how much do you think it's worthits on good condition
1996 d stolen ????
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this and yes I did have to write it down in my binder and rewatch. That 1996 is very interesting, I've never heard about that one. I am definitely going to recheck my coins. May you have a great week. Take care. ☕🌞👏🏼🤯🙂
The 1996 doesn't exist, it was a altered coin.
I found this penny...
Me too
TY for the information. Do you have any advice of the one cent shield pennies?
ua-cam.com/video/3k6jT3s3Sto/v-deo.html
👍😉 was here
I know about the wide and close AMs but I didn't know about the 96 before this video! Have a great day sir!
I was told it was fake, might have to do another video on this one.
Wam bam thank you Daniel lol
You mean WAM CAM lol
Thank you Daniel, great info, very helpful! Checking out Penny values!❤!!
Very happy for your valuable info. Have a great day too.
What do I do with the 96 close AM
If in good shape you can take to a jewelry shop that has a coin grader and they can help you out with decisions on how to process
hi crazy question the 1993 penny are they to be a close or wide am. sorry I'm new to collecting
Wow, that's a lot to digest, you are correct Daniel; I'll have to save this video and come back to it for refreshing.
Daniel great video...I found the 98 99 2000 wade Am I didn't even know they had value....thanks

Learn a lot off of this one Daniel, thanks.
Thank you so much for your knowledge of ways and cams!!!
I have a 1996 s uncirculated mint state Lincoln memorial penny with Wide A M.
How do I go about grading this coin?
Srt
How's it going hope every1 is fine..Anyhow I got 1996 with and without mint mark but also with wide and close a.m...Double stamped how do I go about selling them
Thank you Daniel just amazing about coins . Awesome hobby
Thanks again for your wonderful information. Watched it a couple of times.
Thanks for sharing I did not know about the proof coins or the 96
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Hi sir I have valuable rare wheat cent 1926s and 1909 vdb. I need ur help to grade this in pcgs,how and what is the condition.
I am sorry but I don't help people PCGS grade coins. These two dates are not rare and valuable and would have to be uncirculated to be worth grading.
So if I got a 19 £.99 with a close a.m. on the back side and a stamp of D on the front side is that available at all
Yes, that is the way they're supposed to be
I have the 2000 cent with the AM open is the good one or the AM has to be together not separated like the one I have the AM separated thanks
Thank you Daniel I appreciate it I watch your videos I missed this one I will give it a thumps up when I watch them
Thank you. I appreciate it very much!
Very helpful remainder gotta get back to my collection check out the ones I have already classified.
Well all i got to say is "commendable". Good work. Great to the point verbiage. Enjoyable aswell as no b.s! Good Job!
Great video! TY, Professor.
I have one sent 1996.. close am... what the value please
Wow, thanks for the heads up on the 96 wam
Hi sir I wants to ask you something,how we can sell those coins?
I have a 1995 that has the A&M touching would that be considered a error
I found a 1996 D wide Am where I can I send you a pic of it bc i want to know if it's worth getting sent for grading
If it's a 1996 Wide AM then it is worth having graded. You just have to send it in. And be weary since there could be fakes.
Wow, cool, Hope for your sake its on a 1996 d penny also, right, lol, most likely its n the d too. good luck with it
I have a wide am 1996d....but sadly i dont know how to sell it im from ph...how much is this wide am penny?
ua-cam.com/video/uPAvUteGu0Y/v-deo.html
Thank you. Very good explaining.
I have a penny thats printed 1977-D with YDB on the bottom of the penny. What's it worth??
can the close AM still be found on the 2000 and up to the 2005. I have a 2005 Phillidelphia minted cent and it has both characteristics you listed for the 1992.
They are supposed to be close AM
I got a close AM! Year 2000 with the FG on it..thank you for this...I'm so excited
You're looking for the Wide not the Close AM on 2000. Please buy a coin guide like this one

I’m confused. Are there some pennies that have a close “AM” that also have the sarif on the G? Like the 96? I’m seeing where more wide “AM’s” have the sarif but it looks like some close “AMs” do too.
I have a 98 wide am and a 2006 wide am b strike is the 06 worth anything ?
May I ask what app is that that you are using that you were looking at the coins inside the PCG capsules please and thank you
It's not an app. I just used online images from reputable sold auction sies like Heritage sold auctions.
@@CoinHELPu ohhh thank you for the info I'm 6mo new and anything helps me lol have a blessed day 🙏
i have this 2000 close a.m. gap fg. ? is there a value for this coin i have? hope you can help me ?
