Warning before you look this is not a pretty LMC.

Most die markers are obscured.

Notice how much closer to the A the M is than the E. A WAM is more evenly placed in between.

Close AM which is normal for this year. The premium one is the Wide AM:

Note the location of the 'M' on the AME on AMERICA. Centered is the Wide AM. 'M' to the left of AME is the Close AM. (which is normal this year)

Definitely a CAM. Another way to tell is if the A in STATES is closer to the second T than the first T it is a CAM.

Is it the A that's closer to the second T or is it the second T is tilted leaving the end of the column closer to the A? Same general effect. The A and T are closer.

I know when first started here I always thought a CAM is when the A & M are touching, before I learned how to look for the general spacing of the M in America and the A in states being closer to the 2nd T. It was fun because I thought I was finding all the WAM's when is actuality they were not. So end of the story is that I have no 1999 WAM's and only 1 2000 WAM. But, I keep looking.
