CoinHunter17 Pillar of the Community United States 1008 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 7:43 pm You guys (and I mean everyone, not just males ) PCGS mislabeled them as WAMs when really all 88s have WAMs. He's referring to the RDV-006 with PCGS terms, even though it's incorrect.

HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 580 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 8:03 pm Unfortunately, you stepped into what may easily be one of the most confusing naming issues in modern numismatics. All 1988's have a gap between the A & M of America on the reverse, making them a Wide AM, but a few 1988's have a different reverse design and for an unknown reason PCGS decided to label the variety with the different reverse design a " WAM". As Coop pointed out, the key pickup on the 1988 " WAM" is actually the different design on the initial FG, not the gap between A & M. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/26/2020 10:08 pm 1959-1992 we all WAM. 1992 had a few Close AM, but very few. 1993 All were Close AM. 1994 All the business strikes were Close AM and the Proofs were WAMs. 1998-2000 had year year varieties of miss match on the proof and the business strike: Close AM proofs: Business strike had year varieties also: 1998-2000 Should have been Close AM, but had some Wide AM: All info on one image: Report this Post to the Staff
