Could you help me figure out if this is considered a Wide AM. Very much appreciate it.

You really should give a picture of the entire coin obverse and reverse. Also the designers initials would help. They only way to be 100% positive is with more information.

Right now I'd say Close AM...the M should be centered between the A and E....but as others have mentioned, the date is also needed.

Looks as if vertical bar of M is thinner than supposed to be IMHO.

Good day...just wanted to see if this looked like a Wide AM...this 2001 is the second one found that I know of; the first one was posted on this site.
Could this be a variety that hasn't been discovered..or two flukes?
Thanks again

The left bar in M looks normal but it is not wide, look at the "FG"

Not a wide "AM",I could see that from your first pics. The gape between the "A" and "M" is smaller than the gap between the "M" and "E". This is what I look for the "ME" gap.

I was not aware that 2001 had wide or close differences.
