The other twist to this story is the ending.
It's not a close AM.

Does not look like a close AM... and the C just looks like damage. Not sure what you are showing in the picture in the second post...Cheers, RickO
@ricko "Not sure what you are showing in the picture in the second post"
It looks like an upside down photo of a Connecticut state quarter that has nothing to do with a 1992 cent.
Title says "1992 close am with a twist." Maybe that is the twist???
A "Parking Lot" that's been "Closed".

No apologies necessary. I’m sure “the first” for many on this Forum were not too pretty either.

Check out the crytearia for the determining factors.
Also look what I can do on the camera with a tilt.
Not Close AM. The stem of the "A" and the "M" should essentially touch with a Close AM.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Not a close AM.
Class A...Need to know.
Their are two good ways to distinguish the Wide AM reverse from the Close AM reverse:
1) Obviously, if there is a large space between the A and M in AMERICA you are looking at a "Wide
AM". If it appears the A and M are practically touching, you are looking at a "Close AM". Be aware
that there is still a space on "Close AM'' cents. It is just a smaller space.
2) The Initials FG on the reverse are further from the memorial on the "Close AM" reverse. The
initials are a better diagnostic than the AM!
Remember that it is opposite: A "Close AM" has wide initials, and a "Wide AM" has close initials.
Don't just look at the space between the A and M. As dies deteriorate, they spread. The die may
spread far enough to create what appears to be a small space between the A and M. Always look at
both the AM and the initials.
