The initials " FG " on back of coin are far, but is fair to say " AM " is " Wide AM " on this coin? Thank You!
no, its a close am...the spacing is nothing like the rest of America...and "FG" is the marker.. if its wide then the "AM" is close..
Thank You, I appreciate that the initials are wide, but if you look close at it, lets disregard the initials for a moment would you say there is a gap, small but it is there between "AM" yes or no Thanks!
where I get confused is when you find a Close "AM" has to be touching but is there a written rule for Wide "AM" how far the space should be
Compare a "wide AM" to a "close AM". See the clear difference in the spacing between the M and E? Perhaps try this instead of worrying about touching and un-touching, which can vary.
I did that, I do see a slight difference, thank you! it is always good to ask questions before you spend away a coin, that is why I always trust all of you with your knowledge , much appreciated!
like stated.. if the FG is wide then u have a close AM... period.. if the FG is close then u have a wide AM...
Don't get fixated on the gap between the feet of the A and M. The width of that gap can vary depending on whether the die has been polished and how much it has been polished. What I do is just take a quick casual glance at the AME as a whole. If your FIRST impression is that the M is centered between the A and E it's a WAM. If your first impression is that the M is crowded over by the A it's a CAM
