JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21602 Posts	Posted 11/13/2025 8:14 pm That is a CAM. Just look at the FG initials and the TAT in STATES. The A does not have to be touching the M to be a CAM. Edited by JimmyD 11/13/2025 8:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 11/13/2025 9:07 pm yep, a Close AM. Off centered 'A' between the T's in States, and the far FG initials from the Memorial. Collecting since 1972.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15414 Posts	Posted 11/14/2025 06:10 am It's a CAM for sure. I think the easiest diagnostic to see is the spacing of the TAT in STATES. If the A is centered between the two T then it's a WAM. If the A is closer to the 2nd T (as your coin is) then it's a CAM. The spacing between the AM of AMERICA can vary based on die wearing is not a solid diagnostic to use. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
