Can anyone help me please?
Pics or it didn't happen!
Not without photos.
My Collection of Old Holders
Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I'm new and it's not letting me post pics? I have been trying since yesterday and yes it did happen.
I understand that everyone may think I'm full of it, I'm not. I don't understand why I cannot download my photos of it?
Can you post to your wall and maybe someone can grab it? Or message it to someone?
My photos are finally downloading!
Welcome to the forum!
"The file failed to upload."
Your photo upload may be failing because of image size and your band speed.
Try reducing the size of your photo and try again.
It doesn't sound like the same message new members will get about "waiting for approval."
You can try to send your photo to another member in a personal message.
If that works they can post your photo in this thread.
I will send you a PM that you can respond to in case you don't know how to do it yet.
I'll message the photos to someone. Please give me an address to send them to
I sent you a message, check your inbox.
Great, my email is ruddockmatthew67@gmail.com
Delete your phone number ( use the little gear at the upper right of your post )
No need to email or call ....... check your inbox here on the site and respond to that.
I m going to try downloading one more time, I hope it does.
I give up! It's just not downloading.
Thanks for stopping by.
We do not need to see the photos, in any case. Almost certainly, you found a regular wide AM cent that was deceptive for one reason or another. It may have been struck by worn out dies, for example. Die deterioration can cause the letters to widen and appear closer together.
At the bottom of your screen is the place to post a comment. "Drag and drop" a jpg or png file into the comment box. Your image will be loaded.
See http://www.doubledimes.com for a free online reference for US twenty-cent pieces
Or, click on the icon at the far right of the top of the new message box and it will let you select the image from your gallery or drive.
P.S. - my guess is, as mentioned, either worn dies, or polished dies.
I found a 2021 quarter with a barber quarter reverse. Pictures coming shortly.
It's okay - we've already seen your quarter on Etsy.
I shined it up real good so it’s a totally different coin now.
Ok I believe you
@Observation .... You are still in the 'new' member probationary period... soon you will be able to upload pictures. In the meantime, send them via private message to another member here and they can upload them. Cheers, RickO
Try copy and paste.

i polished mine to cause it will bring more money when i sell it
The suspense is killing me.
This is the reverse side
Why do so many "new discovery" threads turn into tutorial threads?
Wide AM.
The bases of the A and M will be just barely touching on a close AM. On this coin, the A and M are apart.
"You can't get just one gun." "You can't get just one tattoo." "You can't get just one 1796 Draped Bust Large Cent."
Definitely a wide am
@Observation
Your coin has a normal wide AM reverse. It is worth one cent.
Especially as a beginner, your time will be better spent searching for known varieties, rather than trying to discover new ones.
Sincerely I wish to thank all of you for an the knowledge I'm getting. I'm as Novice as they come, no doubt! LOL! I recently retired and pursing coin collecting. I humbly thank you all, Matthew
No problem, Matthew. We should be willing to earnestly help you in your new hobby. Thanks for posting.

I suspect that's what he was doing when he encountered this coin.
It's a WAM.
Well, to make thing easier just remember: There are no Close AM 91's (P or D) as there were no CAM dies made - 1959 thru 1991 P and D cents should all have Wide AM reverses .

Again my many thanks to all.
Observation - nice try - it might look it like it
I was once shot down here and now its in the Cherrypickers guide
take a look at Variety Vista web site - it shows the 7-8 styles of Lincoln memorial reverses plus its shows other coins too
here is the link - Snowman
