I don't think so. On a WAM, the M is spaced equally between the A and the E. Yours shows that the M is a little closer to the A. This is probably caused by a worn or polished die.

Dave is correct.You should also check the "A" in state it should be evenly spaced between the two "T"'s and the "FG" it should be close to the building.Compare it to a 1991,if it looks more like a '91 than a '93 it is a WAM,otherwise it is a CAM.

No. Just a Close AM. The "M" is not centered in the space allowed. Of to the left, Close AM.

Just for kicks. I would like to see the initials on this one. I have a WAM that is a little difficult to see but the initials clearly show the evidence.

With that noted, I agree with the comments above. I simply wanted to point out that the distance between the A and M isn't the only marker for identifying a WAM.
