Good afternoon, I need more experienced eyes to confirm this as a 2000 WAM. The gap between the A and M is extremely small, but I'm going off of the FG, and it appears to be a WAM variety. If it is a WAM, should I get graded?
Any help is appreciated

Can we see a pic of "STATES" on the reverse?

The "A" in "STATES" looks centered which would indicate WAM but the distance between the A and M almost look close to me. Let's see what others have to say.

It is a WAM but not worth the cost of getting it graded, they are selling for around $25.00
in unc. condition on ebay and it would cost double that to have it certified.
The 2000 WAM also is the most common of the CAM/WAM varieties.

The designers initials "FG" being close to the memorial are another tell-tale sign it is a Wide AM. The initials on a CAM are quite a bit further away.

Nice find! As mentioned, not worth the cost of having it graded.
