This is not a minor variety to me but a major one - most usually go for over hundred dollars on Ebay. It's very easy to see without a loop. All that is needed is to know what to look for. With the pictures - it's a close AM (RDV-006) Hopefully its a 1992D. The normal side is RDV-007.

Well, now you have me confused. The site says it is rare. http://lincolncentresource.com/Featured/1992DcloseAM.html
The OP coin is not a Close AM. The M is equidistant between the A and E/AMERICA. The designers’ initials are too far away from the Memorial base. We still don’t know what the actual date of the coin is. The OP could have supplied a decent close-up but did not do so. @Mountain Man …both the 1992 P and D CAM varieties are scarce or rare. @furham …your skepticism is vindicated…imo…Spark
The designers’ initials distance from the Memorial base is not a sure-fire diagnostic. I have seen this vary widely. There is too much space between the legs of the A and M for it to be a bonafide Close AM. This is the main diagnostic PUP…IMO…Spark
That is a close AM, it has all the attributes, The A in states is not centered, M in America closer to the A than the E, and FG spaced farther from the memorial. The question is whether it is a 1992 D.
Agreed,that FG is out in space right next to the memorial,to far out for the normal reverse,now let's hope the OP comes back.
