    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?

    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.

    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.

    P.S. - my guess is, as mentioned, either worn dies, or polished dies.

    @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

    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.

    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.

    I suspect that's what he was doing when he encountered this coin.

    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 .
