Like I've said, if you're interested in varieties, you are better off learning as much as you can about known varieties before you start searching for any coins. Looking at every random coin as if it might be a new variety will get you nowhere.

Not being mean, but if you had done any research at all, you would know that:

a) there are no 2000-D Wide AM cents, and

b) the AM on your cent looks nothing like a Wide AM.

My advice from one of your other threads: If you really want to engage in the hobby, you'll be far better served by buying some good reference books on coins you're interested in than looking at junk coins with a microscope.

I have a United States coin 2020 book I don't think it's the best book. Which one do you think is a good book?

Here's one of the best resources out there for Lincoln varieties:

lincolncentresource.com/Top50.html

My advice to you is ditch the microscope. You don't need it. Focus on these top varieties, all of which are explained in detail and easy to determine with the naked eye or a 5x magnifier.
