    Welcome to CT. From what I can see, I’m afraid not. Post some addition photos. Look at the difference of how one looks to the right of the m. I could be incorrect. BAD019AA-2666-4331-A035-21B4639548F0.jpeg

  6. Hey Pam sure I'll try, i don't have the best phone camera, I just ordered an scipe from Amscope and it should be here by the 16th....... I know that will make things so much easier for everyone!

    The AmScope is a decent, inexpensive means to take some closeup photos. But for a picture like this, a decent set up with your phone's camera should do the trick. Here's a shoebox setup that might help you along that way.

    Things to look for on your specimen.

    Determine the RDV (reverse design). Lincoln Cent Memorial RDV Changes (varietyvista.com)

    The quick diagnostic between RDV-006 and RDV-007 are the initials. Have a look at those. You will be able to diagnose what you have there.

    Good luck.

    I hate those. They’re sometimes to hard to tell. Show the whole coin and don’t show pictures you can’t expand

    If you look at all pictures. I can’t tell. It would have to be a no brainer before I call that one

    NOPE. The combination of pixelation and wear-smashed letters makes it appear to be close, but it isn’t.

    In actuality, the M is exactly centered between the A and E, whereas in the Close AM there is a more narrow distance on the left side of the M and a wider distance on the right side of the M.

    There are a multitude of threads here on Coin Talk that illustrate CAM/WAM very clearly…imo…Spark

    Not a CAM,also despite the blurry images the FG is way to close to the building for it to be a CAM.

    Same here. The die has spread so it’s tricky to me.
