Description
1992-D Cent, MS62 Red and Brown
Rare FS-901, Close AM Variety
1992-D 1C Close AM, FS-901, MS62 Red and Brown PCGS.
Officially, the Mint did not adopt the Close AM configuration of
AMERICA until 1993 cents were struck, begging the question of why a
Close AM was found on a select few 1992 Philadelphia and
Denver-minted business strikes. In addition, the designer's
initials "FG" are located farther from the lower right side of the
Lincoln Memorial building than on normal 1992 cents. Many have
speculated the Close AM cents were part of a test run for die
changes planned for 1993. Philadelphia coins with the Close AM are
extremely rare, while the D-Mint coins of the modified legend are
slightly more available -- yet only about 15 examples are known.
