1997 Close AM Lincoln Cent?

So I was just sifting through my penny jar, and found a few pennies with a close AM. I was just hoping someone on here could confirm or let me know that this is just a regular penny! Thanks, I'm new here by the way, 24 years old, avid coin collector.

So it is a Close AM? Its also a 1997 no mint mark.

 

Yes close AM.
No mint mark is a Philadelphia Minted Cent which means it's normal. Not a sought after close AM
Here is some good information -

I have this 1997 close AM penny. Yesterday, I found a 1992, and a 1992 D penny. Just ordered a magnifying glass to see if either is a close AM.

 

You don't need a magnifying glass to determine that.
It's so obvious..


These are the Varieties..


1997 is not a variety.
