Had a gentleman reach out to me asking about wether or not this was a Close AM. Looks like it could be but he's about a two drive for me to go take an in person look at it. Could I get your guys thoughts please?

Hate to say it but there's too much glare in the photos to determine with confidence what's going on with the AM. Consider removing the coin from the 2x2 and shoot some photos with diffused lighting.

If your saying that it is still possible for that to be CAM, then your wrong.
It is not possible, all the markers point towards it being a WAM.

I agree with JimmyD. Even with the glare of these pics, the M is evenly spaced between the A and E. Not a CAM. hard to tell from the designer initials.

I appreciate the professional opinion. That's why I came here. I posted my reply to the first comment and must have been writing when yours came through. A 2 hour drive in a f250 can be expensive lol your thoughts will save me that money. I appreciate it!

For what it's worth, I also agree this is a normal Wide AM.

Its not the space between the A&M, it is the centering or off centering of the 'M' that makes the differences. The space between the 'AM' are can be affected by die polishing. But the Location of the 'M' doesn't change. The 'M' is either centered, or off centered to the left. That is how to tell the differences.
