Yes. Too blurry. FG looks correct for the date though.

Pics are a little too fuzzy to tell. It looks like the designer initials might be close to the memorial building, however, which would suggest a Wide AM, but hard to say for sure. Can you take another photo?

You seem to have what we refer to in the Photography World, as a severe case of "Hand Shake".

I see that the TAT and signature don't match a Close AM now... Guess it is not close. The A and M being closer together is what threw me off.

Yes, it is close, but it is wide. When the designer's initials are close to the Memorial, it's wide, and vice versa.

Wide AM was the normal one for that year. The 1993 started the Close AM design.

that is a Wide AM. one way you can tell is the TAT in states. the a is centered between them for a Wide AM, and it is a little off center for a Close AM

Not to mention the relief of the lincoln memorial. That's the dead giveaway.

An easy "tell" to use on wide vs. Close AM is to look at the spacing to the right and left of M. If it's even, then it's wide. If the M is skewed to the left with more spacing on the right, then it's close. (Absent other diagnostics, that's just an easy "eyeball" test...)
