Hello everyone I need some help. I have taken pictures of 2 different coins. One is for sure the wide AM penny. The other may be a close AM penny. I would like to see if anyone can tell me if it's a close AM or not
So my pictures apparently did not come through I will figure it out and resend so sorry

    Looking at the AM can be misleading. The simplest tell is the initials as shown below. All close AM coins will have the initials further from the memorial base and the G font is different as shown in the second image:
