nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15417 Posts	Posted 01/30/2025 05:50 am I agree with CAM. Next time show us the entire reverse as the AM is not IMO the best diagnostic to use. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 01/30/2025 07:31 am a nice visual to look at when trying to spot Wide AM or Close AM coins is to check out the link these provide (Click on the hot links over to the left <----) and I agree with Nickel, also providing images of the initials (FG) and the letters in s'TAT'es.

J-Tal Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 01/30/2025 11:50 am Best thing to do is find a some nice coins to use as Wide AM standards (89-92) Then find some nice samples for the 93-2009 Close AM. Having the coins in hand to compare would be better than a picture. Also LOOK at the samples. Should only take a minute of comparing them in hand till they become recognizable as a face.
