adrianlittle New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/26/2025 01:13 am Hello my name is Adrian and coin searching has become a big hobby for me! Per the attached picture, are these coins considered wide or Close AM? Thank you all for the support! Report this Post to the Staff

The diagnostic markers for WAM are more than just the spacing between the A & M. That spacing can (and is) affected by die wear, so the A & M by itself is not conclusive. Show us full coin images, both sides. Then we can help. Also - one coin per thread please. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15673 Posts	Posted 08/26/2025 05:25 am My pleasure to be of support. The diagnostic markers we need to clearly see are: The spacing between TAT in STATES The location of the designers initials FG relative to the memorial base The spacing between AM of AMERICA The date Make sure your photos show these areas and we can with 100% confidence tell you what you have.
