Is it possible to get a zoom in on the FG initial on the side of memorial?

A closer view would help a bit more. It is not the distance between the 'A' and 'M', it is the centering of the 'M' between the AME that would make it a Wide AM. If the devices are polished, the reduction of the AME can make it look like a Wide AM, the a better shot of the AME as a whole, would be more helpful.  Note the other end of the 'M' & 'E'. That is wider like the Close AM.  Edited by coop

The weight to two decimal points would help in determining what you have.

Keep trying. We need to see images as close as the ones I posted to see what you have. (you need magnification)

Sorry I'm new to this site and it's been taking me a long time to take a good picture I can take more but I'm just getting used to this mobile image optimizer. the last two pictures I posted with the memorial being sideways when I flip it from the obverse of Lincolns head being right side up to the reverse that is how the memorial sits compared to Lincoln's head being straight up and down when it is flipped

When you get better images, add them to this thread. Save it a subscription so you can find it easier later on. But keep trying. You will get better if you don't give up. Sometimes it just take time. Keep what works, forget what doesn't, and try something else.

Getting closer. Also check to see if the coin wasn't altered? There was a 1996 coin that was believed to be altered with a different reverse added to the coin. If it was altered, they probably removed the reverse from one coin and added to this coin. If so the weights might be different?

Real deal but when I flip it like I said the memorial is sitting sideways instead of straight up and down like it should for instance I'll send two pictures of what I'm trying to explain but if it were purposely altered I could imagine they wouldn't have it sitting sideways they went through that much trouble they probably would make sure it was facing the right way lol just saying may be a mint error as well also has really pretty bluish toning when directed towards the sunlight on the obverse and reverse but more on the obverse than the reverse.

This is an altered coin. That reverse design is either RDV-001 or RDV-002 (Hard to tell exactly which with these photos, but that FG is definitely -001 or -002) which were in use from 1959-1972. The reverse being rotated is also good evidence for it being altered. It's like a Magician's coin, hard to get the rotation right when making those. |

Can I have proof of that and how exactly do you know it's not a mint error nothing looks altered and I got this coin working the register at a Kum and go.. I doubt it's altered maybe the person made it made a mistake why would it be hard to get it on the right way if it were and looks like the right fg to me looking at it in person

Tanman has it right. You can see the lathe line on the right of the reverse. It's a good machine job
