    Nope. Not a CAM. There is still space between the A&M.
    Also, it's a bit hard to see in your pictures as they are blurry, but you can make out the FG as being a normal WAM FG.

    Keep looking.

    Yeah it takes a bit to finesse the images just right.
    What are you using to take the pictures?

    I use my phone. Im using the 5x.. so I need to not take it as close.

    Try taking the picture with no zoom used. I take all my pictures with just the regular camera on my phone. The image should be clearer and you would be surprised how far you can zoom in on the image and have no issues.

    I’m also confusing myself with the “fg”. Grrrr! Lol

    Ignore the actual distance between the A and M. If the M is equally spaced between the A and E it is a wide AM. If it is noticeably closer to the A than the E then it is the close AM. On your coin it is equally spaced.

    I know this is a 98 but like this one?

    Yes. The spacing of the M is not equal, hence a CAM, and, for 1998 P you want WAM for the collectible variety. All of the 98,99,2000 cents WAMs are from Philly.

    Yes like that, the AM are noticeably closer than the ME, so it is a Close AM.

    You're getting the hang of us all soon you will be asking yourself, "why am I asking I already knew that." If you don't ask you won't know, if you don't know you haven't learned, right! Thanks, and good luck.

    Oh I think that display is the best one yet. Checking out the A and M only sucks for me. Their always dirty in that little space
