ccrider Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 4:33 pm Hi folks! Can you tell me if this is a Wide AM? Compared to others it looks to be wider but the FG is not close to monument stairs. Will the FG always be close to the monument stairs on a 1999 WAM? It is not in good condition at all. Thanks, Chris Report this Post to the Staff

Also the FG always appears closer to the monuments on the WAM Lincolns. Please always show both sides when submitting photos. Edited by JimmyD 02/18/2019 4:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The initials positioning is definitely a giveaway, but also the position of the A M and E (look at the bottom of the letters.) There are some good comparison photos in the following thread: http://goccf.com/t/282431 to CCF!

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15464 Posts	Posted 02/18/2019 5:45 pm You have it now - fully concur with the opinions stated above. To my eye - the best diagnostic of the 1998-2000 LMC WAM is the spacing between the TAT in the legend STATES. If the A is centered between the two T - then it's a WAM. If the A is shifted to the far T, as your is, then its a CAM Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
