Hi guys I have a 1992 that looks like a close AM but I'm not too sure and also if u look at the lettering I see doubling as well but I'm not a pro so I come to pick your brains if possible. Thank you ahead of time. :)113595113594113596113597

The pictures are really far away, but even so, the initials look like rdv-006, which means wide AM. Normal for the date. The Thickness of the letters can vary due to die wear, and due to a partially filled die, which your coin seems to exhibit. Closer shots would make me 100% positive, but now I am still "pretty sure."

I think it's a WAM but some have more or less of a gap. This one looks to not have much of a gap.

If you can get a bigger pic of the FG that will help.
Something else you can try that will verify it is look close at the G of FG, if it has the little horizontal bar in the center. The G in the CAM looks more like a C because it doesn't have that section but the WAM has that section and looks more like a G. If it has it then it is a WAM, you might be able to see that with your loop and that would verify it as a WAM.

Just adding, from the pic I think I see the bar.

when looking for a 1992 P or D close AM
Get yourself a 1991 and a 1993 cent
Look at your 1992 then at the 1991, next look at your 1992 and the 1993
Like stated the areas to look are the AME and the FG
on a Wide AM cent the M should be centered between the A and the E
on the Close AM cent the M should be CLOSER to the A than the E
There will still be a gap between the A and the M but the M will be closer to the A then The E
the G is also different on the WAM than the CLAM
the G has a horizontal line inward to the G and a verticle line that hangs below the curve of the G on a Wide AM cent
The G doesnot have these two lines on the Close AM cent
The FG is father from the building on a Close AM, and Closer to the building on a Wide Am
