Well from the second picture it looks very much like close AM. First picture looked like significant distance, but I suppose that can be a trick...
I say funny because it makes no sense to me. Usually the business strikes I see with close AM have the left side of the M much thinner than the...
Wide, but it looks funny.
Don't lose faith man, just keep looking at both genuine examples and fakes and eventually your brain will be trained to spot the subtle details...

The ideal situation is that everyone can grade like the best of them. That will never happen though. A 4 point grading scale is more similar to...
Wouldn't you want the global shipping thing on? I haven't used it yet myself, but this is confusing lol
It's a matter of search options. Are you selecting search filters for all items on ebay.com or worldwide? Also, are you searching within a...
