I agree that the mm looks pretty normal, although you may be getting some deterioration of the underlying zinc core.

Pet peeve of mine, but I wish people would stop referring to the 1988 transitional varieties as " Wide AM" or " Close AM". The AM really has no difference between the two types. It's all in the design of the FG. RDV-005 and RDV-006 is a much more useful designator for these coins. The difference between 005 and 006 is best seen here: http://www.varietyvista.com/01b%20L...arieties.htm

They do that because for some unknown reason that is how PCGS labels the transitional variety. They put " Wide AM" on the label, so people go looking for the Wide AM and guess what, they find it! (Because EVERY 1988 cent has a Wide AM rev) and they assume it must be the transitional variety.
