Re: Wide Am
It's not a Wide AM and you need to compare design initials at the spacing of the letter in States. You need to get a Wide AM in hand so you can see what they really look like.

Re: Wide Am
EDIT: Joe, Welcome!! Glad you're here and hope you have more to share.
( I forgot to welcome you to the site on my initial post.)
Initials are the definitive way to tell when there is a question on the AM. Sometimes plating blisters and other things can affect the visual perception of the spacing.
In your image, the spacing on each side of the M is not equal, so this is a Close AM. Just another fairly quick way to confirm which it is.
