I'm just learning how to post pics here so forgive me if they are poor quality. The major difference, which is easily seen with the naked eye is the A and the M touching in AMERICA on the reverse. Just the opposite of the WIDE AM pennies. The designer's initials on the base of the memorial is also much further from the base than the normal coin, again, just the opposite of the WIDE AM pennies. I understand the reverse of the coin was minted using a 1993 reverse Lincoln Die that was mistakenly used on this 1992 coin. It was shipped to the mint early and used by mistake. That's what I have been told. I was not there so I don't claim I know the whole story. Anyway, here she is......


Ok...having problems posting pix....more to follow, anyway that's the tech info
