Is this a 1992 p close AM, 1 1

[Doncraig43]

The first picture is the reverse of 1992 p close AM ( I think)  The second picture is two 1992  reverse of a close AM on left and right is a wide or normal 1992 p Lincoln cent. The third picture is the obverse of both 1992 in picture above it. What do you all think is it a close AM. Thanks

You may be right. I know I can put the coin that’s on the left above or the coin that’s shows reverse by self which is same coin, under the PCGS page that has several graded closes AM and to me they look the same or very very close.  The one on the left is way closer than the normal wide AMs. I think I got to figure out how to take better pictures. But thanks for your imput.

There is also the FG to look at. I think on the CAM it is farther from the steps.

That is the problem riight there. Looking at thee spacing between the A & M is the worst way to tell the difference.   Dies and coins get worn which can affect the appearance of the spacing, different years might have slightly different spacing .

The best way, in my opinion, is to look at the FG initials beside the memorial. If they are close, as yours are, it is a WAM. If they are further away, it is a CAM. This way there is "no guessing".
