    I'm not convinced it's a WAM. The spacing between AM and ME are not even.

    Really?even if the FG has the hook it can possibly not be the wam.Its hard to tell by this screen but in person the FG has a clear hook.

    FG looks too far away from the memorial to be a wide AM.

    Most definitely is not. I’d be suuuuuper bummed if I found a 99 WAM in such bad shape. Almost 800 boxes searched and I’ve only found two 99s.

    You can also tell by the A in STATES. On the WAM the A is centered between the T's. On the CAM the A is shifted to the right T.

    Really not a saver potty. That mess all looks like zinc bleeding. Even if you get the zinc off it is likely punched full of holes, cracks, etc. It would be one butt fugly coin.

    In your title.. Next time you use capital letters when describing the variety..
    It's WAM not wam ;)

    Same goes for CAM - Close AM
