I was just wondering if I could get you guys to tell me what you think. Thanks so much!! PS these pics are off the same 1992 just with different lighting. Report this Post to the Staff

You see there are 3 points we look at to determine a CAM/WAM coin. 1. the AM itself - but if the AM is damaged it makes it difficult to tell. 2.the FG initials - close to the memorial = WAM, far from the memorial = CAM 3. the TAT of the word sTATes - if the A is centered it is a WAM, if shifted to the right closer to the second 'T' then it would be a CAM.
