I'm pretty sure my 1992 is technically a WAM because the "G" in the initials looks like the reverse of a 1991, and the initials are closer to the building. It was very confusing to me at first because the A and M on this 1992 are literally touching.

You has a Close AM. I ask because I like peoples to learn. FG it is a marker only after you look at the position of the A and M. To be WAM the A and M must be almost centered. In your case your A is very close and almost touch the M.

For the FG you talk for year 1999 are two varieties: RDV-006 and RDV-007. The most wish it is the RDV-006

The 1992 G you show it is an RDV-006.

Hope help you.

Are those pictures the same coin?
Please post a photo of the complete Reverse
The top two photos are a WAM but the bottom
photo looks like a CAM but it may just be the reflection.

In my opinion, it's absolutely a CAM.

Here are pics of the full obverse and reverse. I had posted a thread about this coin a while back, and although the A and M are touching, it was confirmed to be a WAM due to the position and style of the FG. RDV-006 which is the reverse of the 1991. This new thread was created from a comment that I had originally posted on another user's thread who found one exactly like this one. It must be a rare anomaly.

It looks like a stain or some corrosion or debris at the left base of the M makes it appear closer to the A than it actually is.
