A Close AM should appear to either be touching or have just enough space between the letters for a piece of paper to slide between them. The&nbsp; letters of the Wide AM variety will look separated and like a piece of paper will have a lot of wiggle room if slid between. After examining under a magnifying glass enough times, your eye will become accustomed to the difference, and you should be able to tell which is which with the naked eye.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
