Would this coin in the picture be considered a Close AM.

Picture is pretty blurry, but from what I can see I'm going to say no.

It does resemble close but a better picture would help identify easier. And what year is this cent?

If you can crop the pic and get a little closer it would be easer for us to tell.

I'm going to say no, Look at the A in states, if it's centered between the t's its a WAM

Bad pictures, but I'm used to that from ebay!
I'll agree with oldmike on this one and say Wide AM. Positioning of the A in STATES is rather definitive for me. There is a visible gap between the A and M of AMERICA which I imagine is larger than the image shows because of the fuzziness. FG also looks a little too close to the memorial. Better pictures would let us tell you for sure, but I'm comfortably 75%+ that it's a Wide AM.

I am truly sorry about the bad picture. I got this new iPad and I'm at a lost. But will provide a proper picture.

I'll repeat it but, what year is this cent? It makes a big difference.

That aside, it looks like a Wide AM.

Yep it's definitely a Wide AM, but if it's a 1998-2000 then that's a good thing. Any other year, then it's normal.
