Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 4:53 pm Can you take a straight in shot rather then an angled shot of the AM? It looks like Close AM in the photos but also a fair amount of light disturbance and an angled shot make me think it is a Wide AM. Edit: it's really easy to tell on these so as you have the coin in hand, a 5 minut read would exain the difference and have visual examples.

Things like Die wear, lighting and damage can make it look like something else. The sure way of telling is to go by the initials. If they are close, it is a WAM, if they are further away, it is a CAM Also the style of the G is different Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/28/2021 6:09 pm Thanks JimmyD, the FG looks like a close FG as does the AM, but the style of the G matches a Wide AM, the OPs photos are quite hard to determine, thanks for letting me know the other tell tail signs.
