Is the one on the left close and the one on the right wide, closups provided.

Thanks, Mike

Yes.

That's what they look like.
For circulation strikes -
1993 and after is close.
before 1993 should be wide.

A few days ago in another thread I think I said 1994, but I read more about it yesterday and found it to be 1993 as the year the switch was made.

Thanks xbob. I was looking for confirmation. They are both 1992-D.

I find it easier to look and see how close the "FG" is to the building. On the close AM it is further away, and visa versa.

A 1992D close AM is considered somewhat rare. Worth a lot more than 1 cent!! Nice find!

all pics look like close AM to me.

Looking at the photos on Ken Potter's site, I have noticed that the left side of the A is noticeably thinner on the wide "AM" than it is on the close "AM." Is this a good diagnostic?
