bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24171 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 5:25 pm I find it easier sometimes to look if the M is centered. Centered is wide. The M on your coin is obviously not centered between the A and E. Also near FG is Wide AM and vice versa. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 5:30 pm The "A" in STATES suggests WAM. Maybe a pic of the whole reverse as well as a closeup "AME". Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/10/2023 6:03 pm Quote: I'm a pretty smart Woman but that confuses me sometimes. Would like the verify the initials "FG" location. The three main PUP's for WAM vs CAM. The AME spacing in AMERICA. If spacing is equal to the other devices suggest ( WAM) or not (CAM). The Initials FG spacing from the Memorial base. Close suggest ( WAM) or not (CAM) The A in STATES will be centered ( WAM) or not (CAM). Thanks, Doug. Hope I got right. Edited by Halo1st 02/10/2023 6:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15472 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 05:12 am Never a good idea to attempt discussing separate coins in the same thread. @2foxy - please start your own thread so we can give proper attention to your coin and not end up with a confused mess of replies. @BigV - you have a CAM reverse. What does the obverse look like? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
BigV423 New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 2:38 pm This is the Obverse.. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 5:25 pm I'm with Halo, the A in states is centered, the FG is close, both confirm WAM. The M in America might have received a hit on the left side. Ok, I just figured it out. This is a 92, not a 99. WAM is the right reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
