Sorry but that is a CAM.
All D & P minted cents are CAM.

I agre with Jimmy, although there is a separation in between the A and M but one clue is that the space in between the A and M and M and E are not the same, it is a CAM.

Another clue would have been (if a photo was provided) on the initials of the designer (FG) there would be a horizontal serif on the G.

Also note the distance of the initials from the Memorial as well.

On the Wide AM, the 'M' is centered between the 'AME' on America. On the Close AM, the 'M' is not centered, but to the left of center, regardless of the space between the 'AM'. What happened on your coin. Probably the die was polished, removing the thickness of the fields. How does that affect the spacing? When you remove the base of the device that are wider, it creates a false extra space between the 'AM', just like your coin. I've not checked the other devices on your coin, but I'm guess they are showing smaller devices, with more space between the devices? That is why when you saw that extra space, you thought it was a Wide AM. But the location of the 'M' is centered on the Wide AM. There can't be a third option as there were only two designs. RDV-006 and RDV-007.
