1999 wide AM error question?

Hi, I ran across this 1999 D penny, I know that its the 1999 that has a wide AM but I looked at the one I found compared to a normal 1999 d Lincoln penny and the AM in America are clearly touching in every example I have except the one I found that the A clearly isn't touching the M in America. Could I please get some opinions after seeing the pictures im including in this post. Thank you in advance for taking the time to check this out.

Not the wide AM

 

ok, thank you for taking the time to check out my post, I really appreciate it very much.

 

Clearly close. Notice in the wide AM the M is centered between the A and E.

 

Here is an actual 1999 WAM. Check out out the spacing between the AM and the ME.

 

I like this sir. Very hard to find wide Am

 

It is indeed. I've managed to find 2 in 750 boxes and probably 50-100 bags of cents searched.

 

Not the one you want.

 

This is the key. It doesn't matter whether the AM is touching or if there is a gap between them, it is is the M CENTERED between the A and the E or is it closer to the A. If it is centered it's a wide AM, if it is close to the A it is a close AM.
